WEBWIRE – Tuesday, February 18, 2025
Danny Dyer has tackled a lot in his career – gangsters, geezers, even the Bard himself. But now hes facing his biggest challenge yet: investing in and running a holiday caravan park with his daughter Dani by his side in a brand-new Sky Original six-part series from Expectation (Clarksons Farm, Miracles, Dynamo is Dead). As Danny said himself: Clarksons got his Farm, Hammonds got his workshop. If Jamie Oliver can save school dinners why cant I save the great British holiday?
With childhood nostalgia in his heart and business ambition in his sights, Danny and Dani are diving headfirst into the 7 billion holiday park industry. Theyll stop at nothing in their quest to transform a caravan park into a place that lives up to Dannys misty-eyed memories of the best holidays hes ever had in his life.
But this venture is no knees-up at the Queen Vic. Danny will soon discover that running the park is a world away from the life of an A-list actor as he faces everything from dodgy plumbing to demanding punters, rogue acts to reinvigorating the restaurant menu. But will his new business partners, the parks residents or even Dani be on board with his grand, nostalgic vision?
With an unforgettable cast of real-life characters, The Dyers Caravan Park (w/t) is a hilarious, heartwarming and occasionally chaotic trip into what really makes the Great British holiday so great.
Danny Dyer commented: What you might not know about me is I love a caravan, and I love a caravan site. So, with my daughter Dani by my side, as the voice of reason, Im taking charge of one. Im chucking in a few quid, and will try and make the greatest of British holidays cool again. Now this could be a triumph; or a complete f***ing failure. But theres only one way to find out and thats to roll the f***ing dice.
Dani Dyer commented: My dad wants to get involved in the caravan park and Im all in: I love a caravan, so why not? My dad is a very friendly person hes good at bringing everyone in – but has he got what it takes to make a success of this? I think he has, just so long as people dont decide to go to Magaluf.
Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive Director, Unscripted Originals at Sky, commented: The Great British Holiday is about to get a turbo-charged makeover like never before as the Dyers Caravan Park prepares to open its gates. If anyone can make caravanning cool again its Danny and Dani, and we cannot wait to see them bring the fun.
Ben Wicks, Creative Director, Entertainment at Expectation said: We are thrilled about working with Danny and Dani Dyer as they try to save the Great British Summer holiday. Their passion for caravanning is unlimited, yet their experience of running a caravan park is extremely limited. Based on our extensive research, running a caravan park if you dont know what you are doing is quite frankly, a nightmare. We feel this is the perfect setting for a series as rich in comedy, jeopardy, and warmth even if the weather isnt and were delighted that Sky feel the same.
The Dyers Caravan Park (w/t, 6×60) was commissioned by Phil Edgar-Jones, Executive Director, Unscripted Originals at Sky for Ccile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of Sky Studios & Chief Content Officer for Sky and goes into production this month. The Commissioning Editor for Sky is Shirley Jones. The Dyers Caravan Park (w/t) is produced by Expectation. The executive producers are Ben Wicks and Jordan Read. Josh Jacobs serves as the series director, and the project was developed by Dan Cripps, Amy Dallmeyer and Harry Forte. Denise Kadoo is the production executive and Jo Bucci the head of production.
The Dyers Caravan Park (w/t) will air on Sky Max and NOW later this year.
