ITV set to launch second made-for-mobile TV show

thegym460.jpgITV is launching a new made for mobile TV series on Monday on ITV Mobile, and then on ITV.com’s entertainment channel a week later. The show, the Gym, is a comedy effort starring Might Boosh actor Rich Fuller (Bob Fossil), and Channel 4’s Plus One actress Ingrid Oliver.

The ‘mobicom’ (ITV’s word, not ours) will be comprised of 50 two-minute episodes making it the perfect rib-tickling snippet you can devour on the bus. The Gym is arriving hot on the heals of ITV’s first made-for-mobile TV effort, Hot Desk, a celebrity interview show. Presumably there will be more of this sort of content from ITV to follow.

ITV launches its first made for mobile TV show

capture_19112007_201949.jpgITV has announced its first made-for-mobile show, The Hot Desk. The show’s format is essentially a celebrity interview and is presented by two former All Saints pop-tarts Nicole Appleton and Melanie Blatt alongside Dave Berry and Emma Griffiths from Channel 4’s music show T4.

The foursome will interview celebrity friends and contacts at movie premieres, parties, launches and backstage at gigs. The mobisodes will be two minutes long and feature a TFI Friday style desk that interviewees will be encouraged to sign.

In order to catch the show simply text 83339 and you will be sent a link to the site. One of the first episodes features an interview with ageing indie Brit-pop troglodyte Liam Gallagher in which he bad mouths Peter Andre; if that sounds like your thing then you know what to do.
