Millions of people worldwide are estranged from their loved ones. After years of silence, simply saying sorry may never be enough to heal old wounds and repair a broken relationship. In this unique format, estranged people are brought back together to share two minutes of silent eye contact, in a bid to help them to reconcile their relationships where all other efforts have failed. Each episode features four diverse and highly REALITY

The groundbreaking new social experiment. Social isolation is one of the biggest problems facing elderly people living in care homes, with over 60% never having received a single visitor. This loneliness has a huge impact on their health, well-being and life expectancy. Based on an American scheme, this revolutionary new social experiment attempts to dramatically improve the health and wellbeing of retirement communities by bringing together elderly residents with a group of four-year-old pre-school children. In the format a team of experts – including a gerontologist and a geriatrician - unite 10 elderly retirement community residents and 10 pre-schoolers for six weeks. The old and young volunteers share daily activities designed by the experts, who measure and analyze the older groups’ physical and mental progress REALITY

throughout. The older volunteers undergo a series of baseline tests at the start of the experiment, and their activities are tracked using scientific measuring devices. At the end of the six week experiment the experts test the elderly volunteers once again. The results demonstrate that bringing together these two generations - divided by almost a lifetime – can significantly enhance the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of the older volunteers. The experiment also reveals a positive impact on the social and mental development of children when they spend more time with the older group. This is a life-affirming and innovative format that tackles one of society’s most pressing issues – how we care for our elderly - in a heart-warming and entertaining way. www.redarrowinternational.tv

MATCH FACTOR

MY MAN CAN: SHOWDOWN

The dating format that pits science against emotions.

A new show in the “My Man Can” franchise.

Today we rely more and more on algorithms and apps to find our perfect partner. But is the age of love-at-first-sight really dead? “Match Factor” is here to find out!

Global hit format “My Man Can” gets a new spin-off in “My Man Can: Showdown”. The show features all of the key elements that have made the original a success, as five women gamble on the abilities of their partners - putting their men’s courage and skills to the test. But “My Man Can: Showdown” ups the ante, setting the show in an arena and allowing the guys to compete in duels against each other to win.

Each episode of this hosted studio show follows a single boy or girl who must choose a partner from a range of hopefuls looking for love. Based on their personality test results, they meet 14 specially selected singles: seven of them are a statistically perfect ‘Match’, whilst the other seven are considered a ‘No Match’. The audience knows who is who, but the singletons have no idea. Over the course of five rounds, they eliminate all but one of their potential partners, with friends and family on side watching and commentating on the action. The show ends in suspense as they pick their ‘Match’ and go off on a romantic dream holiday together – but only if the chosen singleton agrees!

The challenges range from general knowledge questions, to feats of skill and agility such as bull riding or battling it out in a water tank. The two couples who accumulate the most money over the rounds then head into the grand finale, where they face-off against each other to win the grand prize. A huge hit on Sat.1 in Germany across its two seasons, “Ran an den Mann” boosted the channel’s average by 22%.

THE TASTE

A visually dramatic and exciting quiz show.

The exhilarating cooking competition.

Imagine an enormous golden wall of cash towering behind a team of contestants. The goal is to maintain as much cash on the wall as possible, as three contestants battle it out to answer general knowledge questions. A single wrong answer means 10% of the cash crashes into oblivion, destroying their prize fund.

“The Taste” sees 16 competitors - from home cooks to professional chefs – selected by four famous masters of food, with their creations judged on a blind taste. A single spoonful can catapult a contender to the top or send them home.

After the first three rounds, the team comes together to play in a dramatic finale to attempt to win the remaining money. They have just two minutes to race across the wall by answering 10 questions correctly. If they make it, they take home the cash they have protected. If not, they leave with nothing!

Each episode sees the contenders take part in both a team and individual challenge. The mentors then eat a single spoonful and judge it, not knowing who prepared the food, which ingredients they used or how they cooked it. At the end of each show, the mentors decide who to eliminate, leading to the final where only one chef can take home the grand prize.

A success across three seasons in the UK on BBC One, “Decimate” has been licensed to countries including France and Spain.

The format has been licensed to over 40 territories including Channel 4 in the UK, three seasons on ABC in the US and five seasons on Sat.1 in Germany. ALSO AVAILABLE ON TAPE: The Taste (US): 39 x 45’; The Taste (UK): 10 x 47’

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN

FENCE OFF

Hilarious comedy entertainment panel show.

The garden makeover competition with a twist.

“A League of Their Own” is the high-energy, supersized panel show that blends sports, comedy and entertainment. Taking its cue from sports fans’ obsessions with lists and statistics, every week celebrity guests join team regulars as they battle it out across numerous riotous rounds of sporting challenges building up to a large scale physical end game.

Two green-fingered families are given a wheelbarrow full of cash and three days to re-style their neighbors’ gardens. A specially built fence between the two gardens means that the neighbors’ work will remain a mystery to the other side whilst the renovations are underway.

No sporting topic is sacred as the teams compete to see who will come out on top, as their sporting knowledge, physical skills and competitive natures are tested to their limits. This Bafta award winning series is a massive hit on Sky 1 in the UK with 11 seasons and two further season commissions. James Corden (“The Late Late Show”) chairs the UK show with team captains Jamie Redknapp and Freddie Flintoff, and comedian Jack Whitehall. The format is also commissioned for a fifth season in Denmark, and has recently aired in Norway and Germany.

Once a day, a section of the fence opens up and the families meet for “Fence Time” and attempt to strike some deals; and presiding over the competition is a jury of gardening experts, who also offer tips and advice. In the end there’s no beating around the bush as the judges pick one family to win the cash prize. With two successful seasons on ZDF Germany, “Fence Off” has also been licensed to territories including France.

Over the course of four rounds, the celebs are pushed to the limit as their public and personal lives are scrutinized and their social media accounts hijacked. Three main games are played across the show: in ‘Hacked’

comics from the opposing team take control of the celebrity’s social media by setting up fake profiles. They can only stop the comics posting or tweeting by using their safeword. In ‘Burned’ the celebs are mocked by the opposing team, again using their safeword to stop the pain. And in ‘Slam Down’ the celebs roast each other in a dramatic head-to-head. The celebrity who uses their safeword the most loses the show and is catapulted off the set and into obscurity!

From punch line and build-up sketches to street interviews, there are 16 to 18 short and witty sketches per episode, all performed by a cast of up to 10 actors. Now in its third hit season, the show has been licensed to over 10 territories including Norway and Germany, and is the winner of multiple awards including an international Emmy Award, BANFF Rockie Award, Rose d’Or Festival Award and Montreux Comedy Festival Award. ALSO AVAILABLE ON TAPE: Season 3: 8 x 25’ + 2 Specials (Total Episodes: 24 x 25’ + Specials)

After being fired from his job, Dirk sets up security company Safety First and employs his sister, Ingrid, and former colleagues Luc and Smos. These four friends are constantly making fools of themselves, but they never lose sight of what life is really all about: loyalty and friendship. Created by Tim van Aelst, the comic mastermind behind Rose d’Or-winning “What If?” and Emmy Award-winning “Benidorm Bastards”, the show has won the prestigious “de Ha! Van Humo” award for TV program of the year, a Televisiester for best comedy and a Golden Intermedia Globe at the WorldMediaFestival 2014 for best sitcom. A movie spin-off of “Safety First” has also proved a huge box office success across the region.
