Paul Hollywood

Wednesday 15 August 2018 Today, Britains biggest multichannel network, UKTV, announced it has teamed up with Paul Hollywood for a brand-new travelling cookery show, Paul Goes to Hollywood (5x60) made by Denham Productions.

The UKTV Original commission follows Paul Hollywood on a road trip across the USA. It will launch in 2019 on leading pay TV food channel, Good Food, and will also air on W. It is being distributed by Bomanbridge Media.

Combining his passion for baking, biking and movies, Paul journeys across the continent on a Harley Davidson before he arrives in the ultimate movie mecca, Hollywood. Pauls 3000-mile tour takes in culinary locations inspired by some of the most iconic films. In Los Angeles, Paul samples the burgers in Bobs Big Boy Diner, which appears in Pulp Fiction, and in New York its pizza in Lennys Pizzeria, well-known to film fans for Saturday Night Fever. Paul tries his hand at making a Honey Tart, a sweet dessert native to New Orleans and Cowboy Coffee Cake in New Mexico. Famous friends join Paul along the way for a slice of pie and a $5 shake.

Kirsty Hanson, commissioning editor at UKTV, commented:

We are thrilled to be working with Paul Hollywood on this perfect combination of the nations love of travel, film and baking. This series is packed full of adventure and fun and will make an excellent show for both film fans and foodies.
