London, 24th July 2014 - Passion Distribution is excited to announce the launch of a brand new Channel 5 factual entertainment series WORLD’S WORST (4 x 60’). The series fits into a larger slate of clip-show documentaries Passion already distributes from the broadcaster, including the adrenaline-packed WORLD’S SCARIEST (Season 1 – 3: 12 x 60’) and the recent international success WORLD’S WORST HOLIDAY HORRORS (3 x 60’).   

Produced by famed UK-based Mentorn Media, the brand new WORLD’S WORST series features some of the most extreme footage ever caught on camera, with episodes including, WORLD’S WORST NEAR MISSES, WORLD’S WORST STORMS, WORLD’S WORST JOURNEYS, WORLD’S WORST DISASTERS. The nail-biting series reveals real-life stories from people who have stared death in the face and lived to tell the tales. Each episode is packed with amazing raw material captured by ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary situations. From planes that collide in mid-air, to a man stuck in a sunken boat for 60 hours, to the music stage that collapsed in a storm, these are some of the most chilling tales from around the world. Each show provides adrenaline-fuelled, high octane action that’s 100% real.  

Passion expects WORLD’S WORST to follow in the footsteps of WORLD’S WORST HOLIDAY HORRORS which continues to travel to new countries. Also produced by Mentorn Media, WORLD’S WORST HOLIDAY HORRORS features ordinary holiday makers capturing the moment their holiday becomes a living hell. Packed with amazing raw footage, interviews and expert analysis, this is a high-octane trip in which dream getaways turn into nightmares. Latest broadcasters to pick up WORLD’S WORST HOLIDAY HORRORS include TVNZ (New Zealand), Nine Network (Australia), RTL (Netherlands), TV4 (Sweden), Viasat (Latvia) and Mediaset (Italy).

Passion’s Director of Sales, Emma Simpkins, said “These series, which showcase incredible UGC footage and contributors from around the globe, are always a hit with our international buyers.  Easy to schedule as either series or specials, they showcase real life – yet at its most extreme – and taps into the voyeur in all of us”
