Format

Last week in London All3Media doubled its screenings event with a scripted session and an unscripted event focused on the new key formats. In the heart of Leicester Square at the Odeon Cinema there were many buyers from Europe attending the event. Regarding the key unscripted formats here there is a full list of the new ones:

 THE FANTASTICAL FACTORY OF CURIOUS CRAFTS

60 min-Studio Ramsay for Channel 4, UK

Blood, sweat and glitter

Welcome to The Fantastical Factory of Curious Craft – a surreal setting for creating craft of epic proportions.  In each episode, four crafters compete to be crowned the winner.  In Round 1, our host chooses a theme for the first make, with each contestant using their own unique crafting style to stick, sew or hammer their masterpiece into life. The Host, aided by two experts from the crafting world, decides which three contestants are worthy of going through to the next round and who is eliminated, with their make being dramatically ‘recycled’ in the giant crusher!

In Round 2, a celebrity guest challenges the three remaining crafters to create something specially for them, such as a sculpture for their garden.  The winner is the creator of whichever piece the celebrity chooses to take home!

The Fantastical Factory of Curious Craft – a magical, fantastical, craftacular place like no other!

THE HUSTLER
60 min -Studio Lambert for ABC, US

Can you hustle your way to the prize money?

The Hustler is a game show unlike any other, where everyone is under suspicion and contestants and viewers must turn detective. In a high stakes game of deception and betrayal, five contestants collaborate to answer questions correctly, to build the collective prize pot. But there’s a twist – one of the contestants already knows all the answers! They are the Hustler, and if they can keep their identity a secret, they win the huge cash prize. But if the remaining contestants work out who the Hustler is then they walk away with the jackpot instead.

Each trivia question has a connection to the Hustler’s real life, revealing more clues as to their identity. The Hustler’s job is to steer everyone to the right answers to win money, whilst remaining undetected. The other contestants need to unmask the Hustler but be on their guard too – as the Hustler anonymously eliminates two of them ahead of the final showdown. In this ultimate guessing game, who will walk away with the money?

THE SEARCH
60 mins -ModestTV for BBC One, UK

The Search is an innovative, new primetime talent format – which sees one of the nation’s best-loved bands looking for incredible singers to form a brand-new super group and accompany them on their next big tour.

In the recorded audition shows, six unique new bands are created, which might be anything from a girls dance band to an instrumental rock group. For the singers who make it into a band this is an opportunity like no other – with top vocal coaches, choreographers and music producers on hand to help take performances to the next level. Not only will the young singers get a taste of the super star lifestyle, they’ll be performing to a live audience of millions – a launch pad to send careers stratospheric. In the live shows the six bands go head-to-head and the band with the fewest votes is eliminated. But there’s a catch – the eliminated singers get to perform one last time and one of them might be saved and join one of the remaining groups.

In the star-studded finale the audience vote for their favourite group.  Will they find the next hit band of tomorrow? Let the search begin.
