Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway: Behind the Screens (w/t) is being made by the Geordie duo’s own Mitre Studios in partnership with ITV Studios’ Lifted Entertainment.

“For the first time in 19 series we are welcoming a documentary crew to pry into every area of the production, to reveal exactly what goes into making this juggernaut of a show…which is both exciting and terrifying!” said Diego Rincón, Creative Director at Lifted Entertainment.

“However, as well as seeing what Ant & Dec have for breakfast on show days, this programme will also no doubt reveal just how much passion, dedication, planning, creativity and hard work goes into entertaining the nation every Saturday night”

The hour-long show will air this Spring. It’s been commissioned for ITV1 and ITVX by Katie Rawcliffe, ITV’s Head of Entertainment and Lily Wilson, ITV’s Commissioning Editor, Entertainment.

It will be directed by Chris Terrill (BBC 1’s The Cruise, BBC 2’s Warship and ITV 1’s Commando)
