On British TV we have seen TV formats that have either original and are later shown in localized version (Pop Idol and SCD) or we have formast that have been tried and tested in other countries and are either hits (Dragons Den, The Apprentice etc) or flops (The Farm, Unanimious)
What other foreign formats do you think would work in the UK? he only one I can think of is The Amazing Race.

The international licences have only recently been put up by CBS, and there is one available for the UK. The European and Asian versions are being made/shown now.
Daily highlights shows, judges giving more assessment marking each contestant out of 20, an amazing 2 and a half hour Friday night spectacular with half a dozen star guests who perform with them. It would so do well for the BBC if only they made the effort.
A good format that could work over here is France 3/Adventure Line's Le Cart Aux Tresor (The Treasure Map) Basically it's where Treasure Hunt is format wise these days. The contestants are in the helicopters (the production uses 5 of em) and even though my French is ropey, I thought the format was great and could just about work out what was going on - and the French scenery from the gyroscope cameras mounted on the 'copters was stunning.
See what I mean on Sky 805 (TV5Monde) Wednesdays 5.25pm
they seem to work very well all over the world.....
oooh goodie!
hope its big..
