Prime Television has also acquired Charles at 60: The Passionate Prince (1 x 90′), which examines the heir to the throne through his work with the many charities and causes close to his heart. Prince William and Prince Harry: Into the Future (1 x 50′), also on Prime’s slate, examines the increasingly scrutinised lives of Charles’ sons. In further deals, BBC Worldwide Australia has licensed over 40 hours of comedy classics to New Zealand’s Comedy Central.
