More sales for Spenny

Distraction Formats has reportedly closed a trio of format and series sales, sending Kenny vs. Spenny and other titles to companies across Europe. The Montreal- and London-based distributor has sold the format rights to K vs. S to Polskie Media, which will adapt the property, seen here on Showcase, for TV4. The original show, from Blueprint Entertainment and Breakthrough Films and Television in Toronto, has gone to more than 10 other territories worldwide, including the Netherlands, the U.K. and Germany.

Sweden’s TV4 has also picked up three runs of Strip Search, bringing together the U.S., Australian and New Zealand versions of the show, which turns five ordinary men into star strippers. The format for Pass It On — a show originally seen on TQS, about life-changing acts of kindness — has been optioned in France by Italian-based producer Magnolia.
