Prime-Time Entertainment Formats on Offer from Nordisk

COPENHAGEN, October 3:
Nordisk Film TV World will head to Cannes touting a catalogue of comedy
formats, such as Hell of a Life,
along with its new participation
drama The Truth About Marika.

Hell of a Life features celebrities being saluted with speeches
by their best friends and stand-up comedians. The first eight episodes will air
in an 8 p.m. time slot on TV3 in Denmark.

The format The Truth
About Marika picked up an
International Interactive Emmy Award for Best Interactive TV Service earlier
this year. The participation drama combines scripted television, live debates,
internet blogs, games and events into one show.

The feel-good
factual-entertainment series I Will Fix You features a team of doctors who are sent to help
patients that “the system” has given up on, while Super Seniors looks at people between the ages of 60 and 75 who
are on a quest to make it in show business.

Also on offer is the
gardening makeover series Dream Garden, which features celebrity guests designing a section of a family’s
garden.
