German Rudnev Wrote:Quite Different is a new high-level comedy/parody show, produced by Londay Productions.

Unlike the most of similar programmes, which simply mock the personalities of television and showbiz, Quite Different is going to show those parodies not only to viewers, but also to the parodied celebrity, whilst continuing the traditions of high-level acting, as well as realistic atmosphere.


I'm interested in showing in premier episode (1x180min, other ones as 1x60 min) on 1st March, in the prime-time slot.

I think the issue of cross-ownership should be addressed before the next franchise round, because if this can influence the voting, what chance do other wholly-owned companies and newcomers have?

A special promo was aired earlier today in celebration, with a neon theme incorporated into the 'You're On" package. Note the tag in this promo, "Redefining television." This is a ploy towards our major project for this year, "Redefined TV," in which classic series are digitally remastered for high definition broadcast. In some cases, in conjunction with work from the American Film Institute, we have managed to find original widescreen film prints of older series and re-edited the programmes for 16:9 broadcast.

Such is the case with our first major "get" for the year: SixHD has acquired the broadcast rights to "Moonlighting," the 1980s romantic comedy about two detectives, starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. Access.2 in the States will be airing the series on weekends later in the year, but SixHD will get the world premiere of the remastered, re-formatted episodes. Also in the works for "Redefined TV" are the first five series of both "Law & Order," and "ER," which were filmed in widescreen but never broadcast as such. (These episodes are meant not to compete with episodes of either title currently shown by any franchise).

A full schedule will be announced following the main Network's schedules for the Spring.]]>
