In 2019 Ground Control was commissioned by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication, to produce a TV pilot that would air on Sky TV in the UK.
The challenge was to create a show that would showcase a different side to Japan.
The show title and premis – 8 Bites of Japan would take UK’s most beloved comedian Jim Moir to 8 parts of Japan, learn about 8 special meals that western audiences may not be so familiar with, and show the lesser known Japan.
