Lineup Industries celebrates the expansion of its EBU award-winning format, We’ve Got to Walk, beyond its native Belgium. RTS in Switzerland has secured the rights for a local adaptation titled San Detours, set to commence filming in the Swiss Alps this month. Originally created by Panenka and aired on VRT’s Canvas channel, We’ve Got to Walk has recently been greenlit for a second season, following its success. The format clinched the Best Format title at the EBU Formats Forum 2023.

RTS, known as the Swiss home of Radio Gaga (Caravane FM), another Belgian format distributed by Lineup Industries, has also renewed the latter for a ninth season.

We’ve Got to Walk is a poignant format that ignites essential life conversations, spotlighting the profound love between parent and child. It challenges the notion of unspoken affection and encourages dialogue on topics often left unaddressed. Through heartfelt moments, the series delves into both the highs and lows of familial relationships, prompting viewers to ponder: Why wait to discuss the matters that mean the most?

The show's format involves the host visiting notable figures to explore their bond with a parent or child. Later, they interview the parent or child themselves, posing the same questions. The culmination of each episode sees them embarking on a reflective walk in nature, wearing headphones that play quotes from their respective interviews. These revelations bring forth sentiments that have long remained unspoken, shedding light on honest familial dynamics. We’ve Got to Walk serves as a catalyst for authentic and meaningful exchanges within families.
