Factual producer Tern TV, part of Zinc Media Group, has been commissioned to make its first factual entertainment format by BBC Scotland.
Lawrence Chaney’s Homecoming Queens (1 x 30’) sees U.K. Drag Race winner Lawrence Chaney, the nation’s favorite drag icon, take one of Scotland’s best-loved celebrities back to the hometown that made them. In a one-off special, a mystery celebrity guest will spend a day with Chaney visiting their hometown, chauffeured in a hot pink drag wagon, with pit stops at former homes, old schools, teenage hangouts, and workplaces – revealing the communities, places and people that made them.
David Marshall, head of Entertainment, Tern TV, said: “Lawrence is one of the most engaging talents on television right now and we are delighted to be working with them on this exciting project, as the nation’s appetite for fun Drag Queen content shows no sign of abating.
This latest commission comes as Tern TV is pushing to further diversify in unscripted, with the appointment of David Marshall as head of Entertainment last year. The indie continues to be a go-to production company for talent-led programming, working with some of the U.K.’s leading names, such as Martin Compston for the recent travel series Martin Compston’s Scottish Fling for BBC Two and BBC Scotland.
