Comedians V Food – Two comedians compete in a series of messy challenges but only one will be crowned champion
Tim Van Someren on Comedians V Food:
Tim said “The reality of making television is that whatever the scale or budget of your production, the challenges remain the same.”
“Comedians Versus Food was a commission for 4Studio, Channel 4’s digital content division, and was not perhaps as blessed with resources as a full TV broadcast production might be. But everyone involved will always want to make the best possible piece of content, with the highest production and entertainment values.”
“Thankfully, Richard and the guys at Broadley Studios always find a way to deliver, thanks to their excellent production space and resourceful attitude.”
“Filming entertainment TV is all about telling a story - when two best-mate comedians are trying to game each other through the medium of eating, there are sub-plots a plenty! There are a surprising amount of angles you need to cover to tell all those stories and by using their remote cameras, in-house lighting, super-keen crews and a very generous problem-solving and “can-do” spirit, we managed to make a hilarious and original piece of content look as if it had cost 10 times the budget.”
“The editorial team from Rockerdale worked incredibly hard to get the best talent - and food - for the show, and we really wanted to do it justice.”
“Thanks to the crew at Broadley we delivered on their brief, and did so on time and on budget!”
