LIVING Commissions Paranormal Series

LONDON, March 6: LIVING
network has ordered Living with the Dead, an eight-part series from Original Productions UK.

The show explores the most
haunted homes around the U.K., and features psychic mediums Johnnie Fiori and
Ian Lawman and paranormal investigator Mark Webb. The team will work together
with homeowners who are literally petrified to the point of despair about their
unwanted spiritual house guests.

Living with the Dead will air exclusively on LIVING in spring 2008.
Stewart Morris serves as the executive producer for Original Productions UK,
with Richard Greenwood serving as the series producer and Peter Eyre as the
series director.

“With LIVING having
established the paranormal genre on U.K. television, people are still
fascinated by ghostly goings on,” said Mark Sammon, the commissioning editor
for LIVING. “While Most Haunted
continues to lead the way in exploring public locations across the country, Living
with the Dead will confront the
terror that lurks behind the net curtains, looking at the real ghost stories
that exist in everyday peoples’ lives.”
