Leading UK television facility dock10 has inked a three-year extension agreement with ITV Studios to support production of a range of its most popular shows.

The deal will see ITV Studios continue to make hundreds of hours of programming at the Manchester production hub including shows such as Judge Rinder and Jeremy Kyle, as well as long-running favourites for other broadcasters such as Countdown and University Challenge, all of which are already produced at dock10’s purpose-built facility, The Studios.

“Since signing the original contract in 2013, dock10’s relationship with ITV Studios has gone from strength to strength,” said dock10 CEO Mark Senior commenting on the deal. “Our ability to offer world class facilities makes us an obvious choice for making programmes outside of London and the quality of the shows ITV Studios make here speak for themselves. As well as serving productions based on site, we are delighted to regularly welcome ITV teams from around the UK making great shows such as The Voice and we look forward to supporting their work for many years to come.

Sally Debonnaire, director of production at ITV Studios, added: “ITV has long had a production presence in Manchester which we continue to build on and so we are understandably delighted to be extending our relationship with dock10. By working with dock10 we not only benefit from superb facilities specifically designed for audience shows like ours, but by filming outside of London, it also allows us to attract a broader audience profile.”
