Nutopia pushes further into the returning formats game with the hire of a new Creative Director of Formats and Special Projects in the UK. Tom Watt-Smith joins Nutopia from Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb producer Lion TV. During his three-and-a-half-year at Lion TV, Watt-Smith developed and produced a slate of shows including the BBC’s Stolen: Catching the Art Thieves, PBS/ARTE’s Saving Venice and an upcoming Liz Bonnin Caribbean show.
According to Watt-Smith the opportunity was “impossible to turn down.” “The scale and ambition of Nutopia’s projects is legendary and I feel honored to join in the next chapter of their story,” he added.
