Media Ranch Signs Format Deal with TTV Poland

Media Ranch has licensed the format The Things My Dad Failed to Teach Me for a local version on TTV Poland.

The Things My Dad Failed to Teach Me follows a celebrity who returns to their childhood home to visit with their dad to learn skills that some of today’s younger generation lack, such as building, repairing household appliances or furniture, cooking, hunting, harvesting, construction, carving, car repair, electrical work and more. A 9×45-minute Polish treatment is in the works.

Created by the Danish production company Laud People for TV 2 Denmark, the show is in production for its second season. In Norway, the format has been picked up and is soon to be produced (broadcaster to be announced shortly), and it is also in development in the Netherlands.

Sophie Ferron, president and founder of Media Ranch, said: “Media Ranch is thrilled about the production deal with TTV Poland that PRO5 Media’s Malgorzata Gudel, our Warsaw representative, closed for The Things My Dad Failed to Teach Me, a fun, heartwarming program. This is an original Danish (TV 2) program that nearly doubled TV 2’s share last fall, and we expect Polish audiences to embrace it well.”

Lidia Kazan, programming director of the TTV channel, said: “We are happy to be in production with The Things My Dad Failed to Teach Me, as it shares matters and values important for our audience. This is a wonderful, entertaining family program which we hope to be as big a hit in Poland as it was in Denmark.”

Lau Rabjerg-Eriksen, CEO of Laud People, said: “We at Laud People are excited that our format now is traveling the world with great help from Media Ranch. It is truly a special, family-bonding project, with a premise that has such widespread appeal. We are confident that viewers in other countries will embrace the format too.”
