BBC Worldwide Productions has been commissioned to produce Hairy Bikers for the History channel in the US. This comes after a partnership was struck with the programme to license its brand and format internationally. This is BBC Worldwide’s first deal for the Hairy Bikers brand since striking the partnership. The 12×30’ series is expected to broadcast later this year. The US Hairy Bikers are former White House Chef Paul Patranella and his motorcycle mechanic and foodie friend of 20 years, Bill Allen. Patranella will travel with Allen across the country sampling unique delicacies.
