Granada International Takes on Two New Factual Shows

LONDON. November 22: Granada International has picked up the worldwide
distribution rights, excluding the U.S., to two new shows from Original
Productions, producers of hit series Monster Garage, and Ballroom Bootcamp.

The first of the new shows
is Resolutionaries. This three-part series looks at the myriad
resolutions that are made and broken every year. It explores
the trauma, perseverance and inadvertent humor of taking on the world’s most
popular (and most unfulfilled) self-improvement projects, with the three
episodes tackling Quitting Smoking, Losing Weight and Getting Organised.
Participants are teamed with an expert coach who guides their progress and
keeps them motivated through temptation, frustration and psychological
barriers.

Holiday Madness is a one-hour special that looks at the growing
phenomenon of Christmas lights and the people who compete against their
neighbors to create the most elaborate Christmas display in town.

"We're
thrilled to be working with Thom Beers and his team [at Original Productions] to distribute these fascinating shows which will both be available for this
year's Christmas and New Year schedules," says Mark Reynolds, Granada
International's head of factual.
