Optomen seals deals for Gordon Ramsay vehicles

Optomen International has formalized sales for two Gordon Ramsay programs - the fifth series of Gordon Ramsay's F Word and new show Gordon's Great Escape, which is set to premiere on Channel 4 in early 2010. In the newest program from One Potato Two Potato, the celebrity chef travels to India for the first time, and documents the culinary adventure he experiences throughout the country learning the ingredients, dishes and meeting its cooks. Both series have been licensed to Canwest in Canada, SBS Belgium and TVNZ in New Zealand, while Globosat in Brazil, Viasat Hungary and Nine Network in Australia have signed up for Gordon's Great Escape. IMC has the UK DVD distribution rights with More 4 licensing Gordon Ramsay's F Word.
