DCD Rights has announced the acquisition of worldwide distribution rights for "Prue & Sandi’s South African Adventure" (6x60’). The travel entertainment series, produced by Yeti and DCD Rights for Channel 4, stars Prue Leith (The Great British Bake Off) and Sandi Toksvig (QI).

The distributor has already confirmed the first international sales for the six-part series to Foxtel Australia and BBC Lifestyle in South Africa. The program follows the two long-time friends as they explore the history, nature, politics, and culinary culture of South Africa, traveling from Cape Town to Johannesburg while sharing personal anecdotes and candid conversations.

Nicky Davies Williams, CEO of DCD Rights, commented: “We are delighted to have this new travel series with great friends Prue and Sandi, blending their aspirational journey across South Africa with sharing their personal memories and love of history and culture. We are certain it will be an international success with its careful balance of engaging personalities and cultural insights.”

In addition to this acquisition, DCD Rights reported several new international sales for its celebrity-led travel slate. "Bill Bailey’s Vietnam Adventure" has been picked up by BBC Earth (South Africa and Poland), Warner Bros. Discovery (Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong), TVNZ (New Zealand), Ananey Communications (Israel), and GBC (Gibraltar).

Furthermore, "Sue Perkin’s Big Adventure: Paris to Istanbul" has secured new broadcast partners including TVNZ, YLE (Finland), and TV3 Group (Latvia). These deals complement previously announced sales to ATP (USA), BBC Earth, NRK Norway, AMC Networks International, MAX (Netherlands), and HRT Croatian Television, among others.
