Latin American Commission on BBC Format

BUENOS AIRES: BBC Worldwide has scored its first local format commission in Chile, with MEGA TV on board for its own version of Make My Body Younger.

Thirteen one-hour episodes will be co-produced by BBC Worldwide with its production partner, GP Media, as well as Calypso TV. (Buenos Aires-based GP Media has an exclusive production partnership with BBC Worldwide’s Content and Production division.)

“Make My Body Younger is not only a riveting and timely series, but it’s an important program that people of every age should watch," said Gareth Williams, senior VP of content and production for South America at BBC Worldwide. "The everyday habits of these individuals are taking years, possibly decades off their lives, and the shocking truths and advice the series offers them could be the last chance they have at getting their lives on a healthier path. Launching our first local production in Chile has been exciting, as our partnership with GP Media continues to flourish. With Calypso TV on board, I’m sure the final product will astound Chilean audiences.”
