ALL3MEDIA International Unveils MIPTV Slate

LONDON, March 27: ALL3MEDIA International will be heading to
MIPTV next month with a diverse mix of factual programming and a slate of new
and returning drama titles that includes the hit drama series Skins, which has recently been commissioned for a second
season by E4 and Channel 4 in the U.K.

In terms of factual programming, ALL3MEDIA plans to showcase
the controversial Animal Pharm, a
2×1-hour production that was produced by Lion Television for Channel 4. The
two-part production introduces viewers to the world of engineering,
biotechnology, robotics and regenerative medicine by going behind the scenes at
the Pharm, which reveals pigs that glow in the dark and goats that produce
spider silk in their milk. The company will also highlight the docusoap Castaway,
which was produced by Lion Television for
BBC One and isolates a group of strangers for three months on a desert island;
as well as the documentary The Road to Beijing, which chronicles the story of a young badminton
player as she trains for the Beijing Olympics. On the factual-entertainment
end, ALL3MEDIA will also make the comedic Guinea Pigs series available for pre-sale; it was produced by
North One Television for Five in the U.K., and follows five young men who
become human guinea pigs for a range of scientific experiments. There is also
the eco-friendly WA$TED, produced
by Fumes TV for TV3 in New Zealand.

The company’s drama slate includes the thriller Cape
Wrath, from CSI director Duane Clark and
award-winning producers Ecosse Films (for Channel 4 in the U.K.) In the series,
the Brogan family is placed in a mysterious protective custody program called
Cape Wrath, and are seeking a fresh start after moving to a new, seemingly
idyllic, isolated community. However, the family soon realizes that secrets
lurk beneath the comfortable exterior of the town. Also on ALL3MEDIA’s slate is
a TV movie called The Man Who Lost His Head, which sees a young museum curator leave his
comfortable existence in England for a Maori village; and the 8×1-hour series Lilies,
which follows three sisters as they come of
age in the aftermath of the Great War.
