STV wins first BBC3 contract
A pilot for a panel show called Fake Reactions will be filmed at STV’s studios at Pacific Quay.
The programme, in which six celebrities will have to hide their reactions to “an array of unusual situations”, will be presented by BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Matt Edmondson. It was developed with American production company Kinetic Content, partly based on a Fuji TV game show format.
