MUMBAI: A new free-to-view TV channel will launch in millions of UK homes on 15 April. Spike will offer a mix of British commissions and talent alongside a range of acclaimed drama and entertainment.
Original commissions will feature prominently on Spike from launch.
‘Police Interceptors Unleashed’ will mark a return to British TV screens for actor and former professional footballer, Vinnie Jones, who will front the series, following the work of the high-speed police interception unit. Another new series, ‘Tattoo Disasters UK’, will seek out some of the most painful examples of British body art and the individuals having to learn to live with their inky mistakes.
Spike’s launch line-up will also feature TV dramas including ‘Breaking Bad’, which will be broadcast from start to finish for the first time on British TV.
The latest and fifth season of ‘The Walking Dead’ will also be available on Spike. Other acquired dramas that will broadcast on Spike from launch include the British TV premiere of mythological blockbuster ‘Olympus’, ‘Justified’ and crime thriller ‘Sons of Anarchy’.
‘Lip Sync Battle’, hosted by two-time Grammy Award-winner LL COOL J, will be the entertainment flagship of Spike’s launch schedule.
The half-hour original series – based on the cultural phenomenon of lip sync battling seen by millions on television and online – has been created by Jimmy Fallon and his Eight Million Plus Productions, Stephen Merchant, John Krasinski, Matador and Casey Patterson.
Merchant also features on-screen as one of the many A-list musical combatants in the series.
Social media comedy ‘Fail Army’ has also been reworked for television and will be introduced to UK TV audiences by Spike.
