Warm Welcome For 'Cold Feet' In Poland

Granada International has licensed the format rights to the multi-award winning drama series 'Cold Feet' to one of Poland’s top commercial broadcasters TVN.
The deal sees TVN acquiring the entire UK series as well as producing their own version of Cold Feet, the highly successful ITV1 drama which starred an ensemble cast including James Nesbitt (Murphy’s Law), Helen Baxendale (Friends), Fay Ripley (Bon Voyage), Hermione Norris (Kingdom), John Thomson (Mobile) and Robert Bathurst (My Dad’s the Prime Minister).
The series was created by BAFTA award-winning writer Mike Bullen (Life Begins, Tripping Over).
The deal was brokered by Granada International Senior Sales Executive Dorit Schilling who is based in the company’s Cologne offices.
Dariusz Gasiorowski, (Director, Drama Production Unit), TVN Poland commented: “Cold Feet really appeals to us as a very smart, long running piece of television drama. We strongly believe the compelling characters and storylines that combine high drama and full on comedy will make it a winner with Polish audiences.”
