Captain
Beany goes to Cannes with BBC Worldwide
BBC
Library Sales, a division of BBC Worldwide, is breaking new ground
at Mipcom this year with an innovative and diverse range of programming.
Great
British Eccentrics (12 x 5 mins) celebrates a Britain long famous
for its colourful and unique citizens. This series of short films
examines 12 of Britain's modern day eccentrics, including Arthur
Reeder, postbox collector; Alan "Nasty" Nash, chicken
whisperer and toe wrestler; and Captain Beany, worshipper of the
British baked bean.
Blue
Skies (20 x 3 mins) offers an opportunity to meet the creatures
for whom the sky is home, and to fly with them for an eagle eye's
view. The power and beauty of the natural elements are revealed
in this series of short programmes certain to fuel our fascination
with flight. Also on offer is Workshop Wonders (240 x 60 seconds)which
reveals the secrets behind 240 unique interior design makeover projects.
From
long-form programming comes Animal Antics, and the opportunity to
meet a dog that climbs trees, a bicycle-riding chicken and a budgerigar
that plays darts. These are just a few of the talented performers
in this collection of short film extracts featuring bizarre behaviour
and unusual animal escapades. Animal Antics can be used either as
fillers or for individual programmes.
