BBC CHOICE SCREENS ‘THAT GAY SHOW’

CONTROLLER of BBC Choice, Stuart Murphy, has announced the commission of ‘That Gay Show’, a brand-new, light-hearted weekly magazine series for gay men, which starts in April.
‘The Gay Show’ is filmed on location around the UK, with a team of reporters presenting regular items on fashion and lifestyle; music and clubbing; television, cinema and culture. The show also features a weekly celebrity, as well as an off-beat comedy strand.
Murphy said: “There is a huge diversity in the gay community and ‘That Gay Show’ is surprising and entertaining, finding common ground without the burden of political correctness.”
‘That Gay Show’ is presented by Kristian Digby, Jonathon Natynczyk, Tom Ashton and Robert Robertson. Digby has presented ‘Sunday Night’, ‘One Night Stand’ and ‘Nightlife’, all for LWT. He will front the show as well as conducting its weekly interview. Natynczyk is an actor who starred in ‘Queer As Folk’, and ‘Fat Friends’. Ashton trained at the Guilford School of Acting and his credits include Rocky in ‘The Rocky Horror Show’, and Matt in the West End production ‘Boyband’. Glasgow-born Robertson was a founder member of Orion Rowing Club, the first openly gay rowing club in the UK, and his team won gold at the 1998 Gay Games. He also works for an event and film production company.
‘That Gay Show’ is a BBC production, produced by Mark Downie and Philip Wilson. (CD)
