ITV has commission 2 more series of Lee Mack’s 1% Club, which is filmed at dock10.
Produced by Magnum Media for ITV, its third series is currently airing on Saturday nights, with the last episode (24th February) attracting the show’s biggest ever audience with over 5.3m viewers.
This series is ITV’s second biggest entertainment series of the year, behind Saturday Night Takeaway. The 16-34 audience share averages 37% and the format has been sold to 10 territories across the world.
“Well let’s be honest, the fact that I haven’t accidentally given a hundred grand to the wrong person or read out the answer instead of the question is as much a surprise to me as it is to everyone else,” said Mack.
“So I’m delighted that ITV are risking me steering this ship once again! Can’t wait to discover more of the nation’s brainboxes.”
The 1% Club is commissioned for ITV by Satmohan Panesar, Factual Entertainment Commissioning Editor and Sue Murphy, Head of Factual Entertainment.
In a joint statement, Murphy and Panesar said:
“For a show that requires brains… the decision to recommission this multi award-winning, ratings-busting juggernaut, presented by one of Britain’s funniest and most engaging comedians, was actually a no brainer.”
The show was created by Executive Producers Dean Nabarro and Andy Auerbach.
