Lisa Perrin, the CEO of creative networks at Endemol Shine Group, talks to <\/em>TV Formats about the factual format <\/em>Ambulance.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ambulance<\/em>\u00a0spotlights the important work of emergency medical services teams, who deal with life-and-death situations on a daily basis. Dragonfly in the U.K. created the observational docuseries, which is part of the Endemol Shine Group catalog. The show made its debut last year on BBC One, where it was the channel\u2019s highest-rated factual premiere of 2016, regularly winning its time slot and achieving a peak audience of 4.81 million viewers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a fantastic development team at our U.K. production company Dragonfly, which is constantly coming up with new factual ideas,\u201d says Lisa Perrin, the CEO of creative networks at Endemol Shine Group. \u201cWe wanted\u00a0\"***Image***\"to partner with the BBC for a big, noisy, factual format to suit their broad audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since medical emergencies are unfortunately something that the majority of people worldwide have to experience at some point in their lives, it seemed clear that\u00a0Ambulance<\/em>\u00a0would work well as a format. \u201cAmbulance<\/em>\u00a0fits perfectly into the trend for large-scale factual programming with drama sensibilities, which is so current,\u201d says Perrin. \u201cThe series is beautifully shot with wonderful characters and a glossy overlay. It\u2019s about the human condition, and that\u2019s what really resonates with the viewers and gives them real drama.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, CBS in the U.S. ordered a local treatment of\u00a0Ambulance<\/em>\u00a0that will see hour-long episodes produced by Endemol Shine North America. \u201cAny U.S. network commission means a real supercharge for the format, and CBS proved to be brilliant partners for us when we worked with them earlier this year on\u00a0Hunted<\/em>,\u201d says Perrin. \u201cBroadcasters around the world still look to the U.S., and striking a deal with them is always really positive news for a format.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ambulance<\/em>\u00a0is also getting an eight-episode version for Reshet in Israel. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a huge amount of interest internationally and are talking to a number of other countries,\u201d notes Perrin.<\/p>\n

As is the case with most formats, there will be a number of variations among the adaptations of\u00a0Ambulance<\/em>. \u201cThe way the ambulance services are set up and staffed in different countries is extremely different from the U.K. system, which is run by the NHS,\u201d says Perrin. \u201cThere are a lot of volunteers in Israel who are paramedics, and we know the U.S. is a privatized system. All of this will bring differences, and that\u2019s before you start looking at the vast range of cases and patients they will be dealing with. Israel is dealing with suicide bombings, shootings; America has a lot of gun-related crime and violent attacks. I think each series will have a richly diverse style.\u201d<\/p>\n

Endemol Shine\u2019s main goal for\u00a0Ambulance<\/em>\u00a0is to continue securing local treatments in multiple territories around the globe. \u201cThis show could work in any market and it will be fascinating to see cultural differences come to life with the character-led stories,\u201d adds Perrin. The company has also sold the three-part U.K. version\u2014which was renewed for an eight-episode second season\u2014as a finished program in markets across Africa as well as in New Zealand, Belgium, Norway and Sweden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
