The Great Escapists – Official Trailer

Equipped with nothing but their wits and scraps from a shipwreck, Richard Hammond (The Grand Tour) and Tory Belleci (MythBusters) must figure out how to build their way to safety and attract rescue services to make it off a deserted island.

The Great Escapists, available to stream on Amazon Prime Video from the 29th of January, 2021, is a brand new survival series that sees the duo form a healthy rivalry instead of working together to get off the island – Hammond attempting to build a car from scratch and Belleci more interested in blowing things up.

Connie Farr was the music supervisor for this trailer which features Boney M’s ‘Gotta Go Home’

Praise for Netflix Original The Ripper

Released to critical acclaim on the 16th of December, Netflix Original The Ripper, which follows the half a decade manhunt for the infamous Yorkshire Ripper, exploring the misogyny of the press and police, and the breakdown of police procedure and pile-up of misinformation surrounding the deaths of 13 women.

With great reviews in IndieWire, Business Insider, and Forbes along with an impressive 78% on RottenTomates, its no wonder that The Ripper spent 3 weeks at number one on Netflix UK, as the most streamed docuseries over the 2020 festive period.

Connie Farr was the music supervisor on this production, and set the tone of the 70s with a great soundtrack that includes tracks by Suzi Quatro, The Maisonettes and Curtis Maldoon.
