"ITV Shiver" strike deal with The Witchfinder General 12 Years, 2 Months ago  
More insanity.

Mark Williams-Thomas, the criminologist and investigative journalist who worked closely on ITV’s Jimmy Savile Exposure film, has struck an exclusive deal with Shiver, the factual division of ITV Studios.

Williams-Thomas will work on undercover investigations for the channel, the first of which will air later this year.

Shiver director Alex Gardiner described him as “one of the most respected experts in his field and his vast experience in a wide range of high profile investigations was the driving force behind our Jimmy Savile Exposure. This programme deal illustrates the breadth of factual content that Shiver is producing and the array of talent we’re working with from our bases in London, MediaCity and Leeds.”

Williams-Thomas said: “I firmly believe the media has a vital role though investigative journalism in exposing issues that affect the public and I am delighted to be working with ITV and Shiver on an exclusive basis. I will continue to concentrate on exposing some of the most shocking criminal activity both in the UK and overseas as well as hunting people down.”

Shiver has also won several commissions from ITV network, including 30x 60-minute daytime series, Peter Andre’s 60 Minute Makeover. The series will refresh the 60 Minute Makeover format and will see him leading a team of designers and workmen to refresh people’s homes.

Katy Thorogood commissioned the series which will be executive produced by Amanda Stavri.

The Nation’s Favourite Elvis Song, a 90-minute primetime special celebrating Elvis Presley will also be produced by Shiver. It will tell the story of 20 “greatest” Elvis songs in consultation with Elvis Presley Enterprises, based on record sales, cultural impact and their significance in Elvis’ career. The favourite song will be voted for by a panel of ITV viewers.

Shiver creative director Mark Robinson will executive produce with John Piper as producer. ITV factual commissioning editor Diana Howie ordered the programme.

SHIVER is a magnificently appropriate name; it's what the thought of Andre doing a house makeover or some Elvis impersonator singing some of those classics does to me.

Actually, SHUDDER might be better.

now there must be an outstanding and masterly decision on a TV show that will stand the test of time as the pinnacle of the great Brit TV industry :
Peter Andre’s 60 Minute Makeover.

Williams-Thomas is surely going to have his work cut out for him finding pedos under the bed all over GB.

I think he will come to grief like the Fake Sheik.

Oh I think there's a great show for MWT to do; Exposure; cops and ex cops colluding with media to get wrongful convictions. Celebrity lives ruined. All these Old Bailey appearances... my God the TV opportunities are fantastic. Start with funeral director suicides.

It's quite amazing, that a tit like Williams-Thomas can on TV & be taken seriously. Are the general public so dumb to fall for it?

Has to be incompetence at it's best.

I can imagine the Police force to be really bad, if there are more potato heads, like him around.
