The multi-hyphenate will also executive produce 

Its based on a hit international format that has had worldwide success, most recently in the U.K.

For the children of Longview, TX, 'Touch A Truck' Day sparks imagination.

Layla said it perfectly. i have worked with layla at itv when we were both in commissioning there. youre playing your odds, arent you? youre looking for some safe bets and youre looking to innovate. if someone presents something to you that is familiar, that will pr itself in the way that changing rooms has, or that have a ton of celebrities in, they are all shorthand, they are all shortcuts to get an audience to you. that doesnt. .. youve still got to deliver the goods. your mention of money, i...

Time for today. thank you to all my guests — ruby wax, broadcaster and writer, clive tulloh, executive producer of when ruby wax met, layla smith, head of objective media group, and mark sammon, executive producer of changing rooms. the media show, back at the same time next week, so thanks very much for watching and goodbye. hello there. many parts of the uk will have another cool and cloudy day on tuesday. monday the sunshine was restricted more to sheltered western areas of the uk. we had s...

You to my guests. ruby wax, who needs little introduction — actor, comedian, writer, mental health campaigner — and clive tulloh, who worked with ruby as her producer for many years, including on some of those interviews that she did with the likes of donald trump and imelda marcos. i wonder what its like for both of you to be reunited via zoom. well, usually, i touch clive a lot. theres a lot of interaction between our limbs. luckily, hes burnt. his face is like a beet, so im very turned of...

They dont want it." but, actually, we didnt. actually i think thats the key, hopefully, to it sustaining an audience. layla, you mentioned the cube coming back later this year and, as you say, it had the £1 million specials aired last year. again, for those who havent seen it, what does phillip schofield guide the viewer through on a typical episode of the cube? well, the cube, its . a very simple tag line. you have nine lives to playl seven deceptively difficult — they look simple, theyrej d...

Get anything five minutes. i need to move in. that doesnt exist any more. so i go, ok, thats not my interest. i suppose what i was getting at was, weve talked about rebooting programmes, but do people in front of the camera have to acknowledge the need to reboot as well to continue their careers? if i was doing more, but im not that interested. these were movie stars with skills, and the thrill of spending time with them will never happen again. so, i wouldnt even know... i would invent somethin...

Around the house and they would have to film us. and if ruby said "oh, look at that picture up there", if they didnt swing the camera and look at the picture and then come back to see our reaction, they didnt make the squad. you wanted the camera to have a personality, notjust a piece of dead meat. and layla, iwonder, given that celebrities in that kind of format were much more prepared to let their guards down to a good degree, perhaps in a way they hadnt much on british television much before,...

Of broadcasters. im really interested in this area. we took the decision to take changing rooms out and present it to channel it with some money attached. ive pitched other ideas with a tonne of money attached, and broadcasters have still said no. in a way it doesnt matter if it is a good idea, they might be making a saving in that slot, layla knows this from being at itv. the risk you run in terms of your ad revenue and and in terms of not getting an audience to it, the paint brand didnt fund a...
