PSB acquires series with The Rig actor showcasing his adopted city

Martin Compston is making his Channel 4 debut in a Las Vegas-set travelogue from Tern TV.  

The Rig actor fronts Martin Compston Living Las Vegas, showing off his adopted hometown where he has lived for five years.  

In the 3 x 60-minute series, Compston will offer viewers a tour of the glitz, grit and grandeur of Sin City, from hidden culinary spots and adrenaline-fulled adventures to surprises in the Mojave Desert.  

The Rig actor and the Zinc Media-backed indie have previously collaborated on BBC2 travelogues Martin Compston’s Scottish Fling and Martin Compston’s Norwegian Fling.  

Martin Compston Living Las Vegas was acquired for C4 by senior acquisitions manager Polly Scates and is executive produced by David Marshall, with Rod Tamime serving as series director and Emma Fentiman producing.  

The series is co-funded by The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (Vegas Tourism) and BossaNova Media, the latter of which will handle international distribution. It is expected to air later this year.  

Marshall said: “Martin’s personal connection to the city brings an exciting and fresh look to what is an iconic destination, and at Tern we’re confident that the series will showcase the city in a way that audiences have never seen before.”
