Geldof creates new TV phenomenon

Bob Geldof is so thrilled with the success of his reality TV shows, he's currently developing a set of interactive channels specifically designed for different levels of society.

The anti-poverty campaigner and director of production company Ten Alps Communications was responsible for bringing the first fly-on-the-wall series, Survivor, to British screens in 1997, with his former TV company Planet 24 - and he's well aware of how profitable this style of show is.
