Leopard Scores New Sales

LONDON, April 6: Leopard International
has secured deals for a number of its programs with four European broadcasters,
as well as inking its first-ever DVD deal.

In the U.K., ITV4 has
picked up the one-off, 50-minute documentary Reigning in Hell, which tells the story of the Aryan
Brotherhood. De Côté Chez Vous in France has purchased the first season of Hidden Potential, a series that uses photo-realistic animation to
reveal a homes’ hidden potential. Season one of B & B The Best has been snapped up by Sitcom SPA in Italy. The
presenter-led format watches struggling bed and breakfasts given a helping hand
to turn business around. Meanwhile, Canal Plus in Poland
acquired the first season of Stately
Suppers, which visits celebrated stately homes in the British
Isles.

Leopard also scored its first-ever DVD deal with Canadian and North American DVD
distributor BFS for Mysterious Creatures. The 90-minute
drama recreates the true story of a couple who tried and failed to cope
with their 33-year-old daughter suffering from a range of conditions including
mixed personality disorder and Aspergers syndrome.

Sarah Diggins, the head of sales at Leopard
International, said:
“Europe is a massive and burgeoning market
place and Leopard is developing strong relationships on the continent. We see
Europe and Russia
as growing into a thriving business alongside our already strong North American
business.”
