Nordisk Film TV Denmark, part of Banijay Nordic, is to produce Your Body Uncovered for DR, marking the first international treatment for the Remarkable Factual format.

In the Danish version, patients meet with host Peter Qvortrup Geisling—who previously trained as a doctor, journalist and health correspondent for DR1—to discuss their illnesses and treatment. Using augmented reality technology, HoloLens patients are given a medical consultation. Host and trained psychologist Josephine Høgh spends time with the patients’ relatives and listens to their experiences.

The graphics are made by the Danish animation studio Copenhagen-Bombay.

Ulrik Jørgensen, CEO of Nordisk Film TV Denmark, said: “We all know how extraordinary the body is, and we were immediately gripped by the idea of being able to see exactly what is happening. We are looking forward to showcasing this cutting-edge technology and providing an incredible insight into the bodies of Danes. Peter Qvortrup Geisling and Josephine Høgh are the perfect hosts with their experience in scientific fields, presenting and most importantly, empathy.”

Lucas Green, chief content officer of operations at Banijay, adds: “We are continually learning about the ways in which technology can enhance content, and Your Body Uncovered is a perfect example. Remarkable Factual used AR, tapping into their experience in Your Home Made Perfect and Your Garden Made Perfect to create an innovative, engaging, interesting and warm show. It is great to see a fresh new adaptation bringing this groundbreaking storytelling to a Danish audience.”
