Dropped
Adventure Reality
60’ or 90’ adventure reality
brand new
Dropped into the wild. Stranded. Alone. Could you find your way to civilisation? That’s the challenge faced by celebrities in this intense new adventure reality format, which has taken Sweden by storm, boosting the coveted 12-59 target audience by more than 50%. Divided into two teams, the contestants are blindfolded, and dropped into some of the most remote locations on earth. With no food, no map, and no help, they must make their way through unforgiving landscapes, in a race to find civilisation. Which team will be first? And which team will have to face-off in an elimination round? Surrounded by dangers, the teams must navigate their way through a hostile and alien land; nature, red in tooth and claw. A daily radio message from the show’s host is their only indication as to how far they’ve gone. Relying on their instincts, the two teams must make their way towards what they hope will be an inhabited area, so they can call a helicopter to whisk them to another awe-inspiring location. The team left behind, still far from home, must do battle in a series of challenges to determine which of them will be leaving the show. After a gruelling trek through the untamed wilderness, it’s the last thing they want to do, but someone must go. As the series progresses, and they travel the globe, the contestants are eliminated one-by-one. In the season finale, only four remain. After working in teams, it’s now every man for himself: there can be only one winner. Dropped into desert, jungle, mountains and snow. Stunning landscapes; brutal environments. This is reality television at its most authentic. Consultancy available from Zodiak Rights Potential for line production / co-production to fit a range of budgets.

If not, three back-ups might help: nominate a friend, have missing words revealed or take multiple-choice answers. Sing 10 songs correctly to scoop the massive grand prize.

The show the contestants don’t even know they’re on
Game show meets cookery masterclass
Brave young princes endeavour to impress a beautiful princess’s dad in outrageous trials designed to test their character and suitability.
A hit internationally, Oblivious is the classic hidden camera game show starring top-notch comedians and unsuspecting members of the public.
Take one professional kitchen, add two ambitious amateur chefs, stir-in opinionated food critics and garnish with a large cash prize. Tasty!
Appealing to male and female youth audiences, My Little Princess is a physical gameshow with dating at its heart. Set in a medieval kingdom, an overprotective father (The King) identifies worthy suitors for his daughter. To prove their gallantry, eight eligible ‘princes’ face treacherous challenges. Fail at the Catapult of Compatibility and they will be lobbed into The Lake of Losers. Look cowardly at the jester’s Wall of Gullibility – in which they run blindfolded towards a barrier – and the Moat of Rejection awaits them. When just two princes remain, the princess makes the final choice based on a romantic serenade: a power ballad sing-off!
Every week our hilarious host goes undercover, donning multiple disguises to interact with ordinary people in everyday situations. Maybe walking down the street, as an assistant in a shop, or the instructor in an exercise class, he suddenly throws out a question or sets a simple task. Answer correctly or do as he says and he immediately hands over cash. Brilliant! Sometimes he just hands over the cash and walks off, leaving the bemused unwitting participant wondering exactly what just happened. On other occasions they win desirable yet bulky prizes in completely inappropriate places! They deserve them as these ordinary punters produce pure comedy gold.
This fast-paced cookery game show challenges contestants to prepare four delicious dishes of increasing complexity. In each mouthwatering round, they have 30 seconds to raid the larder and then they get cooking. The judges decide which chef made the most appetising version and the winner gets the advantage of choosing the next dish. If a contestant cannot stand the heat they can call on the resident professional chef for help or advice, or ask special permission to raid the larder once more. Presentation and innovation are important ingredients in this ultimate test of cookery skills. Which chef will demonstrate the culinary flair to claim the cash at the top of the Food Chain?

The stresses and strains of modern life have caused a dramatic rise in the number of people taking antidepressants. While these medicines have been important in tackling the depression epidemic, many doctors believe they are now overused. Too many people have become overly reliant upon them.

Supported by a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a dietician, a physical coach and a stylist, they embark on an epic expedition into a beautiful wilderness, where they face a series of increasingly testing challenges. These journeys of self-improvement are hard work and intensely emotional but, ultimately, highly rewarding.

From an initial casting of thousands, Psychic Challenge identifies 10 people with a substantive claim to possessing psychic abilities. These magnetic mediums are then set up to three tasks per show to prove they have real powers. Each paranormal challenge is designed to probe our psychics’ abilities as objectively as possible – from describing events they could not possibly know about, to finding a man buried within a huge search area. A panel made up of sceptics and believers mark each performance. For the fakers, there’s nowhere to hide – the psychic receiving the fewest votes is eliminated.

Winner of a Golden Rose for best reality programme Winner of a BAFTA award for best reality show
This unscripted sensation is packed with jeopardy and drama. It gets to the heart of the way we live by inviting two households to swap wives for two weeks. Does absence make the heart grow fonder? Is there a one-size-fits-all formula for a happy and healthy lifestyle? What constitutes acceptable behaviour? For better or worse, each family member will be touched, sometimes transformed, by the experience. Every episode begins with the wives arriving at their new homes and meeting their temporary families. Aided only by an instruction manual left by her predecessor, the wife must spend the first week living according to the rules of the house. How do people live like this? In the second week expect some big changes as she runs the household as she sees fit. Wife Swap lifts the lid on the important choices people make every day – spending priorities; what they expect of their partners; how they divide up the parenting, the shopping, the cooking, the housework; how frequently they go out; what they want from their social lives, and much more.

Wife Swap for business owners
Same job, different world
This reality format from the creators of Wife Swap tests whether two companies can benefit from the skills and experience of a brand new boss.
Culture shock chaos ensues when workers from one country swap places with fellow industry professionals from a totally different part of the world.
Two bosses from different industries agree to trade places for 12 days and run each other’s company. Neither boss knows where they will be going or who their replacement will be, but a fresh perspective from another successful entrepreneur could be a real eye opener. They quickly get to work meeting the staff and learning as much as possible about the business. At the end of the first week, the new boss must announce five or more changes. How will the staff react? Can the new regime increase sales? On the final day the bosses meet face-to-face to discuss what changes they made and why. Expect heated exchanges!
An insightful celebration of difference, Extreme Job Swap sees people who do the same job in contrasting parts of the world trading places for 10 days. If you can drive a taxi around one major city, you can do it anywhere, right? Maybe not! The streets of London present very different challenges to the highways of Lagos. Likewise, fishing in the Arabian Sea is quite dissimilar to fishing in the Arctic Circle. Our brave job-swappers frequently end up way outside their comfort zones. They have to deal with everything from unfamiliar technologies to alien laws and peculiar social conventions. By walking in someone else’s shoes they experience a completely new way of life.
This spin-off from the award-winning format has become a huge success in its own right. Featuring well-known, often controversial personalities, Celebrity Wife Swap takes the intrigue to a whole new level. Each week, two celebrities with contrasting values discover what it’s like to live a very different life. Watch the sparks fly as stars collide!

A brutally honest approach to matchmaking
The original castaway hit
Lessons in being proper ladylike
The classic Shipwrecked format features tribes of beautiful people competing to win new members to their apparently idyllic island communities.
This ratings hit takes a group of binge-drinking, rowdy young women and transforms them into polite, wellbehaved ladies.
Drama, intrigue and romance are guaranteed when two teams of attractive 18-27 year-olds compete for a huge cash prize. Being marooned on a South Pacific island, isolated from civilization, can be paradise or purgatory depending on how the competition is progressing. There is strength in numbers so the rival communities use every conceivable tactic to convince each week’s new arrival to join them. Each newcomer spends 48 hours living with each group, so good food and good times are the order of the day, even if there is disharmony beneath the surface. After 14 weeks, the island with the most members shares the cash prize.
Perfect for primetime, Ladette To Lady sets out to transform the fortunes of the country’s wildest girls. At an authentic finishing school they will be taught that being rude is simply not acceptable and that sticking two fingers up to society will get them nowhere in life. They should aspire to behave like the elite, but this requires lessons in etiquette, elocution and deportment. Rather than constantly screaming and swearing they must learn how to eat oysters and ride side –saddle. After intensive mentoring, coaxing and cajoling, these common-as-muck girls are thrown into intimidating upper-class environments in weekly challenges, but will they be judged fit enough to remain in the school? Even if they are still ladettes-atheart, can they fit in at an exclusive post polo match soirée?
These dating experts promise to pair women with the men of their dreams, but only if they stay the course at the Tough Love bootcamp. Professional matchmakers like Steve Ward know the secrets of successful relationships – from sex and intimacy to commitment and communication, they have seen it all before. So much so that they can categorise every woman and create an effective roadmap to true love. We meet good-looking women with lessthan-impressive relationship track records as they embark on this rocky ride. People like Miss Maneater, who spits out men as quickly as she attracts them, Miss Low Standards, who always goes for trashy guys, and Miss Awkward, who is evasive and hard-to-please. All they have to do is follow our maestro’s rules and the real thing is guaranteed. High Noon and Flower Films for VH1

Trinny & Susannah: The British Are Coming
brand new
60’ lifestyle
Fashion ambassadors to the world In this light and fun 60’ lifestyle format, Trinny & Susannah share their quintessentially British style with people across the globe and discover new cultures, traditions and religious boundaries. An impassioned plea to the fashion ambassadors is made by someone who has had enough of their loved one’s complete disregard for the way they look. This is an intense format that gets to work from the very first scene and without pandering to diplomacy! The straight talking begins with an entirely candid critique of the nominee’s lack of sartorial nous. Trinny & Susannah then totally turn the tables and surprise everyone with a shocking bombshell… They are equally appalled with the person doing the nominating’s distinct lack of style! Both the nominator and their nominee will receive a full fashion fix. The makeover, including the first time they see themselves in the mirror, takes place at the Embassy where the participants are treated to a slice of Britishness as well as a makeover. Each episode ends on a high as the newly styled fashionistas are presented to their family and friends at the big reveal. Abot Hameiri for Channel 10 Israel

Trinny & Susannah’s Makeover Mission 60’ lifestyle
Top fashion tips from iconic style gurus Sassy British style experts Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine travel the globe turning hapless fashion failures into glamorous catwalk queens. This best-selling female orientated format features the larger than life personalities of Trinny & Susannah, the straight-talking style gurus from the BBC’s What Not To Wear. A ratings hit in every territory it has aired in, it successfully supersizes the primetime fashion show genre. Trinny & Susannah’s Makeover Mission is to spread their key message far and wide: Anyone can look great if they choose shoes, clothes and accessories that suit their body shape. Trinny & Susannah identify women who could be beautiful and confident, but aren’t. The famous fashionistas have just 12 hours to turn 20 of these very ordinary-looking women into glamorous runway models. With the help of their professional makeover team – a hairdresser, make-up artist, two seamstresses and a photographer – they bring about dramatic transformations. These once dowdy women are suddenly ready to strut their stuff. Their lives will never be the same and Trinny & Susannah fly on to the next Makeover Mission destination.

Folk Food Fair 60’ lifestyle
Food of the people, cooked by the people, chosen by the people What’s your country’s favourite home cooked dish? It’s time to let the nation taste and decide, region by region.
This Old Thing 60’ lifestyle
A stylish alternative to disposable fashion It’s crazy we buy cheap mass produced clothes when vintage pieces are totally unique, look fantastic and don’t cost the earth. Women have four times as many clothes as they did in the 1980s, with many items worn once then thrown away. This show is determined to tackle our addiction to fast fashion. Searching for lost classics in vintage shops, high-end boutiques and relatives’ attics, we prove that clothes from the past can be clothes of the future. Along with a vintage clothing connoisseur, our host explores the history of fashion, revealing key influences on what we wear today. Men should be able to spot a 1950s Levis jacket, just as every girl should know an Oscar de la Renta dress. If tired clothing needs bringing up-to-date then the Wardrobe Workshop can help: customising, repairing and reinventing old pieces into exciting new outfits. Can we convince throwaway style junkies to embrace vintage clothing? RDF West for Channel 4 A ZODIAK MEDIA PRODUCTION

From family recipes to local specialities, behind every dish there’s a story. In towns and villages across the country, ordinary people create extraordinary food. Which dish is best? Folk Food Fair is a feel-good celebration of national culinary preferences. A panel of chefs and food lovers travel the country setting up open competitions. Old and young, amateur chefs bring their favourite homemade dishes. The top six, according to the panel, get to use the Folk Food Fair kitchen to cook their dish for the gathered masses. The people then taste them and vote for the regional winner. In the grand final the regional champions go headto-head for the grand title. Mastiff Denmark for TV2 FRI A ZODIAK MEDIA PRODUCTION

Live In The Dream 60’ lifestyle
brand new
Win a family home through work, skill and style Twelve families move into 12 identical apartments. Renovating them room-by-room, within a budget the weakest makeovers are eliminated. The series winners get to keep their apartment.
Lifestyle
This primetime lifestyle/reality format is an interior design show with a uniquely personal touch. The makeovers are not motivated by a desire to increase value or be uber-fashionable; they must primarily be right for the family. The aim is to win the property they’ve put their heart and soul into. A young couple with children might desperately need a bigger place. Two sisters might be planning an apartment for their parents. There are three judges: a designer, a craftsman and a ‘perfect housewife’ type. Everyone works to the same budget and time limit, so success depends entirely on their creativity and workmanship. Which family will win their dream apartment? Golden Media for TVN Poland

This worldwide smash hit features two trusted property experts helping struggling house-hunters to find their dream home. Property professionals like Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp know all the secrets of successful house-hunting: being clear about what you want, aiming high and, above all, being prepared to compromise. It is just as well they know what they’re doing because the people they help – sometimes couples, sometimes whole families – often have seriously unrealistic expectations! Our experts work to a brief of must-have attributes: number of bedrooms, character property or new build, but the most important aspect is always… Location Location Location! From auction houses and estate agencies, to websites and word-of-mouth, they leave no stone unturned in their quest for the best. They then have the unpredictable task of showing the house-hunters around a shortlist of properties that appear to fit the bill. Will they have judged their tastes correctly? Do these people even know what they want? Once the dream house is successfully identified, our experts help the buyers to negotiate terms and seal the deal. Life changing decisions made, job done!

Outgrowing your current house but can’t afford to move? This show has the perfect solution. With clever design you can dramatically increase the size of a property.

Building amazing new inside spaces

Five highly skilled duos travel the country transforming the homes of families desperately in need of revamped living areas.
Homeowners embark on daring renovation projects to transform their murky basements and dusty lofts into gorgeous new living spaces.
This is renovation on a large scale, with real implications for the homeowners and the five duos vying for the title “Nation’s Best Renovator” (and the huge cash prize). At each new property they are shown a video detailing what the family wants. Then the duos demonstrate their amazing technical and creative skills. Each team is responsible for a particular room and the style preferences are different at every location. The cost of any mishaps will be deducted from the prize fund, so our super-talented duos are under extra pressure to deliver. Expect luxurious bathrooms, sumptuous bedrooms and kitchens with all the mod cons.
Space… there just never seems to be enough of it. Make My House Bigger follows bold homeowners with ambitious plans to gain an extra room or two. Packed full of take-home advice about these ever more popular projects, each episode looks at the conversion of either a loft or a cellar. Some work with tightly-capped budgets, doing a lot of the work themselves, while for others the financial cost seems almost irrelevant –like the couple who lift their entire roof up three feet in order to boost the headroom in their luxurious new loft conversion! Each story culminates in an incredible reveal of a truly amazing new space.

In each episode, three antiques experts are invited into two homes to put a price on anything they want. There are special pieces of jewellery and family heirlooms that the owner thought might be worth something, but the dealers might also have an eye on contemporary designer goods or holiday souvenirs. The experts each put a hidden price tag on the item, which can mean bidding against the other dealers. The owners then return to decide what is to be kept and sold.

Literally anything could go under the hammer and at any price, from police seizures to end of line goods, company liquidations to retail returns. The dealers have an identical sum to spend and can try anything to turn a profit. They use local knowledge and draw on personal contacts. For instance, they might know someone in the market for a set of golf clubs. From difficult deals to easy money, we see the full haggling process. Which dealers will make the most profit and earn a place in Friday’s final?

Antique buyers haggle with members of the public over interesting items of memorabilia. Would they be better off going to auction? If you owned a piece of history, how much would you sell it for? Would you take what an expert offers or gamble on success at an auction? Welcome to Real Deal – the antique show for everybody. Whether it’s a Harry Houdini autograph, a WWII ceremonial sword or a signed football, something that’s rich with history won’t necessarily make its owner rich. The market for collectibles is unpredictable and dealers rely on experience to pitch at the right price. When they put an offer on the table the seller has a decision to make: Take the cold hard cash or head to the auction, with the risk of going home with far less. A ZODIAK MEDIA PRODUCTION
