Northern Ireland producer's 'Chasing Time' success

Leading Northern Ireland independent producer, Brian Waddell Productions Ltd (BWPL), have been commissioned by National Geographic Channels International in Washington to produce a global travel challenge series. It previews later this month on National Geographic Channel Asia and premieres throughout the world later this year.
'Chasing Time' is a 13-programme series that follows the exploits of pairs of contestants who jet off to some of the world’s great cities, where they will face a number of challenges to complete in order to win a luxury break. However, if they fail, they are on the next flight home and all the time, the clock is ticking against them.
The series has been devised by the experienced BWPL team, which has a long list of credits in leisure/lifestyle programming for the domestic and international networks. It will be launched at the MIP TV television market in Cannes at the end of April.
Managing director and series executive producer, Brian Waddell, said: “This is a thrilling and important new commission for us. We are delighted to be working with such a prestigious international organisation as NGCI on a series that is designed to give viewers an inside track glimpse of some of the world’s great cities, away from the standard tourist fare”.
Building on the 35-year legacy of National Geographic Television and Film, which has won over 800 top television industry awards, National Geographic Channels International brings the vast resources of National Geographic to over 110 million homes in 138 countries and 23 languages around the world.
The executive producers are Jennifer Apostol for National Geographic and Brian Waddell for BWPL.
