WORLD CUP SUNSET

Sunset + Vine has won a new commission from Gillette to produce a 12-part advertiser funded World Cup 2006 preview series.

There is also a further two-year contract for its weekly advertiser funded Gillette World Sport programme.

Gillette Fifa World Cup 2006 will be the only official series available to the international market and will look at the teams, the individual players, the venues and the key talking points. It will be executive produced by Ian Sollors.

This will be the fifth Gillette Fifa World Cup series that Sunset + Vine has produced and the shows will be exclusively distributed by Television Corporation International.

Previous series have been broadcast in more than 180 countries and the new series will be ready for broadcast from February 2006.
