UKTV to host photography exhibition
UKTV - the BBC-owned network behind channels such as Gold and Dave - has announced a photography exhibition to take place in October.
Over the weekend of Friday 7th -Sunday 9th October 2022, the broadcaster will host the free exhibition near Covent Garden in central London.
At The Stables, 40 Earlham Street, they will display a range of original props from Dave, W, Yesterday and [c]Drama programmes, alongside more than 170 photographs commissioned for original series.
Promoting the broadcasters catch-up platform UKTV Play, it aims to encourage users to sign-up to and discover the free service.
UKTV explain: "The pop-up exhibition celebrates commissioned photography for UKTV's Original programming over the last seven years. From Big Zuu's Big Eats to Bangers And Cash to Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, the space will host artwork from a variety of UKTV's much loved programming, all available to stream for free on UKTV Play.
"Attendees will also see a range of props displayed from Dave, W, Yesterday and Drama content and guests will easily be able to access information about their favourite programmes and props through scanning the adjacent QR code via their smart phone. The link will take them directly to the UKTV Play site."
Andrea Amey, General Manager of Digital at UKTV, says: "We are so excited to showcase some of the beautiful portraits from the programming across our channel network, all of which you can watch on UKTV Play. This is a brilliant opportunity to see the shots as works of art in their own right, at size and scale. This type of exhibition is so rarely seen and we're delighted to offer a view to the public completely free for three days."
Running in the venue's Unit X, the exhibition will be open between noon and 6pm daily and is free to visit.
