Documentary commissioning: SKY

Here is the commissioning list for sky corporation taken from the sky website

•  Sky 1

Sky 1 is all about joy and enjoying the ride. It is the home for big entertaining family content that has warmth, heart and humour in its DNA. Non scripted programmes need to have a Sky1 twist of humour, action, energy and authenticity. Current successes in documentaries are Karl Pilkington Moaning of Life, Ross Kemp's Extreme World.

Funny Factual continues to be incredibly important for us. Karl Pilkington The Moaning of Life continues to set the bar on what we want. There is only one Karl but we are always hungry for new and established talent with whom we can make funny documentaries. If it is a bit of a bonkers take or idea please try us - we will probably love it. 50 Ways To Kill Your Mammy is a big hit with our customers and we would love to have more ideas that are very funny but also incredibly warm. 

• Sky Atlantic

Atlantic is the home of world-class theatrical documentaries, such as Alex Gibney's triple Emmy-winning and Oscar-shortlisted Going Clear, and we want several of them a year. They are a mixture of commissioned, co-produced and acquired films.

• Sky Arts

Sky Arts is where genius is standard.  As the UK's only dedicated arts channel, we need to offer our customers a broad range of content.  The ideas we commission really need to be big enough or unique enough to make a lot of noise for the channel, to get people talking, watching and debating.  And we like to do things first.
