Plus, because <em>Singletown<\/em> is all about real relationships, it\u2019s relatable escapist entertainment with a purpose, and that really appeals to younger audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Erlend Hern\u00f8 R\u00f8eggen, CEO of Nordisk Film TV Norway, commented, \u201cWe had an instant good feeling for <em>Singletown<\/em> when we saw the U.K. version last year and now we are so happy to get a local commission in Norway. <em>Singletown<\/em> has a fresh take on relationships and the eternal question: should I stay or should I go.
