Donal MacIntyre, the eponymous star of BBC1's Undercover and Channel Five's Underworld series, is launching his own production company. Bafta award-winning producer Michael Simkin and Will Aslett, who produced MacIntyre's 2002 series Wild Weather, are also behind the company, called Dare Films. Their first commission is a new six-part series of MacIntyre's Underworld for Five, which has extended his initial three-year contract. The company will initially concentrate on crime productions, beginning with the six-part follow-up of Undercover. It will also look at specialist factual programmes for other broadcasters
