The opportunity to sponsor Little Crackers, a season of autobiographical comic shorts from Britans best-loved stars. The all-star line up includes performances by Dawn French, Catherine Tate, Kathy Burke and Stephen Fry with home-grown favourites Victoria Bailey and Bill Bailey, directing their own tales. From a young Stephen Fry breaking the rules at school and trying to pull a fast one on the Head Teacher to Dawn French, aged 4, having the Queen mother over for tea, each short film will dramatise a humerous tale and provide a new insight into the life of a familiar face.

An excellent opportunity to build brand awareness and to associate with quality Sky1 programming during the christmas period.

Scheduling on Sky1 and Sky1 HD, plus repeats on Sky1 and Sky2, beginning mid December with one episode per day, increasing to two episodes per day. The sponsor will receive 15" opening & closing credits and 2 x 5" break bumpers per centre break on each episode. Additionally, Sky1's Bafta-award winning new media team have created dozens of flagship experiences for the channel's hit shows at www.sky.com/sky1. The Sky1 site offers customised Headline Sponsor integration across its show sites next to exclusive access, photos and video interviews with the stars of hit Sky1 shows

This is a brand new sponsorship opportunity, however Dream Beds, Curry's, Carpet Right and More Than Pet Insurance are currently sponsoring Sky1 programming.
