In addition, TV2 Denmark went for the original series 1 to 4, Channel Four in Finland went for 2 to 4 and Kanal 5 AB in Sweden claiming 1 to 5. TV Norge in Norway also went for the original series 1 to 3 which follows the expert team as they protect Australia’s borders intercepting suspicious travelers, uncovering evidence of drug trafficking, wildlife smuggling and identity fraud.

Then on to The Unsellables starring Sofie Allsopp, a show which recently aired on BBC1 to a very positive response and which has seen TV Norge in Norway taking both series and Channel Four Finland following suit.

Then World’s Greenest Homes, a show which takes an exclusive tour around thirteen episodes of the most awesome eco-houses on the planet has seen its first series snapped up by TV Puls in Denmark with the second placed firmly on schedules at TV Norge in Norway and at Kanal 5 AB in Sweden.

Finally on to Cineflix’s multiplatform content with Cooler Facts, a collection of six episodes or 38 shorts that use state-of-the-art, computer-generated graphics to explain the wonderful workings of our world and delivers them in a themed narrative that will fascinate audiences.

Channel Four in Finland and NRK have both picked up these episodes to use as interstitials.
