"TV Showdown"
Hat Trick International (HTI) has picked up rights for new celebrity game show format "TV Showdown", a re-vamped and modernised version of the highly successful entertainment series "Telly Addicts", produced by Livewire Pictures.
Livewire Pictures has licensed the "Telly Addicts" format from its owner and creator Unique Television and reinvigorated the hit show while retaining all the brilliance of the original gameplay, with updated rounds, a refreshed contemporary look and a hilariously host, Paul Sinha ("The Chase").
The first series of UK version Paul Sinha's "TV Showdown" (6x45’) airs in prime-time on Saturday nights on ITV1 and has been a huge hit with a younger demo (16-34s).
Guy Freeman at Livewire comments, “This was an entertainment format that was just waiting for a complete refresh for today’s audiences in the multi-channel world. We are extremely pleased to be working with Hat Trick International, an indie distributor with a reputation for handling gameshow tape and format sales that is second to none.”
Sarah Tong, Director of Sales at Hat Trick International, adds, “This is the first time we have worked with Livewire and it is a pleasure to have such an engaging new gameshow to offer to our clients. International platforms and channels are looking out for ‘feel good’ series for family viewing and this certainly fits the bill.”
