RTÉ and the production companies also partner with the biggest TV distributors which helps bring these new formats to different markets around the world. Already ‘The Takeover’ (Toto Productions) has been commissioned by Channel 4 and ‘The Hit’ (VIP Productions) has been sold in several territories proving that this process works. We’re calling on anyone who thinks they have a great idea for a new pilot to submit it by the 27 March 2015.’
