Play to the Whistle is currently airing Saturdays 9.20pm on ITV
UK - Aurora Lighting is supporting lighting director Oli Richards on the new ITV Saturday sporting comedy panel show Play to the Whistle.

Played out in front of a studio audience at Fountain Studios, Play to the Whistle features host Holly Whillouby presiding over team captains, Bradley Walsh and Frank Lampard.

Produced by Hungry Bear Media for ITV, the show pits two celebrity teams against each other with the aim of working out who sports the best knowledge of all things sporting. Helping to keep order, comedian Sean Walsh also joins the show in the guise of comic umpire for the series.

To assist in creating the show's polished, sporty look, Aurora supplied LD Oli with razor sharp Clay Paky Sharpys, which have been integrated into the set to create 'bars' of light that tower above the guests.

Elsewhere, Oli specified the innovative Doughty H Bar ladder system, which Aurora loaded with Martin Rush par 2's to simulate a stadium floodlight effect.

To complement the set's vibrant look, awash with strong primary colours, Oli teams the Viper Performance with Aura's, both from Martin, to deftly highlight the action and keep the show's sporting challenges crisp and clean.
