MIPTV Spotlight: Passion Distribution

Passion Distribution’s Love in the Flesh explores whether relationships formed through social media and dating apps can survive in the real world.

In Open House: The Great Sex Experiment, committed couples test the boundaries of their relationships.

Each episode of Stitch, Please! sees two contributors compete to create a different outfit inspired by fashion, film, TV or cosplay. “The creators undergo a truly amazing transformation, both in their looks and their confidence,” says Agnes Mbye, senior sales manager for formats at Passion Distribution.

Among the crime and investigation highlights is One Bullet in Belize, which follows Jasmine Hartin as she prepares to stand trial for the killing of a top-ranking police officer. The documentary details how one bullet shattered the paradise island image of the tiny U.K. protectorate on the shores of the Caribbean.

Also available are I Met My Murderer Online, centering on cases where online relationships turned deadly, and Specials Ops: Crime Squad U.K., revealing the real-life criminal investigations of the U.K.’s most talented and successful sleuths.

The youth-skewing investigative documentary Tourette’s Mystery: Scarlett Investigates follows TV personality Scarlett Moffatt as she explores the syndrome after she herself developed facial tics as a result of Bell’s palsy.

The factual slate includes the BBC Two docuseries Art That Made Us, which explores some of the formative works of painting, sculpture, architecture, music, literature and drama across 1,500 years of British history.

Secrets of Royal Gardens, meanwhile, goes behind the castle gates and palace walls to reveal little-known facts and secrets of Britain’s royal gardens and parks.

Passion Distribution is also offering Stacey Dooley: Inside the Convent, in which Stacey Dooley experiences what it’s like to live as a nun, and Vicky Pattison: My Dad, Alcohol and Me, in which TV star Vicky Pattison explores her relationship with alcoholism.

Mbye adds, “Passion is looking to meet buyers to discuss our new, exciting slate of bold, ambitious and captivating programming.”
