Danny Dyer to take over Kent Caravan Park as part of new TV Docuseries
From the creators of Clarkson’s Farm, Danny and Dani Dyer are looking to “save the great British holiday”
A brand new Sky TV series will see Danny Dyer run a caravan park in Kent with daughter Dani.
While Danny Dyer has tackled a lot in his career - gangsters, geezers, even the Bard himself, he’s now facing a completely different challenge, investing in and running a holiday caravan park on the Isle of Sheppey.
With the help of his Love Island star daughter Dani by his side, the six-part series from the creators of Clarkson’s Farm, will see the Eastenders and Football Factory face everything from dodgy plumbing to demanding punters, rogue acts to reinvigorating the restaurant menu.
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. They’ll stop at nothing in their quest to transform a caravan park into a place that lives up to Danny’s misty-eyed memories of the best holidays he’s ever had in his life.
As Danny said himself: “Clarkson’s got his Farm, Hammond’s got his workshop. If Jamie Oliver can save school dinners – why can’t I save the great British holiday?”
He said:: “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, I’m taking charge of one. I’m 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 there’s only one way to find out and that’s to roll the f***ing dice.”
But will the punters get on board?
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 it’s Danny and Dani, and we cannot wait to see them bring the fun.”
Dani Dyer added: “My dad wants to get involved in the caravan park and I’m all in: I love a caravan, so why not? My dad is a very friendly person – he’s 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 don’t decide to go to Magaluf.”
The Dyers’ Caravan Park (w/t) will air on Sky Max and NOW later this year.
