Onliners and Old Timers in Spain

Gestmusic, a Banijay Iberia company, is producing the social experiment Onliners and Old Timers (Canvi de Xip) in collaboration with Catalan Ministry of Culture for TV3.

The format pairs tech-savvy millennials with older technophobes as they attempt to enter the 21st century. This show was originally produced by Banijay UK’s Princess Productions and has been adapted by Endemol Shine Finland for Yle TV 1.

Banijay’s Lucas Green, global head of operations, commented: “Onliners and Old Timers explores how different generations can learn from each other in an uplifting, engaging and humorous format. At a time when we are relying on technology and human connection more than ever, this experiment goes beyond a television show, as each generation will walk away with a new skill set.”

Tinet Rubira, managing director of Gestmusic, said: “To millennials, the internet is a part of their daily routine as much as brushing their teeth, but it is not always a simple task to show the older generation how easy it can be to use technology. Funny, touching and revealing, this format sees cross-generational cooperation at its best.”
