ITV Studios to unveil Spring slate at its Formats Festival
Exciting new shows will be presented to buyers at its annual event
More entertainment shows in new territories than ever before in 2019
ITV Studios has unveiled its Spring formats slate as it prepares to welcome buyers to its annual Formats Festival today.
As ITV Studios enters a year in which it has more entertainment shows in new territories than ever before, over 200 people will congregate in central London to hear from producers across the ITV Studios group who will present their latest entertainment, reality, game show and quiz formats.
Buyers present will hear from labels including The Garden, Possessed, 12 Yard and Boom, discussing key titles such as Operation Live, Catchpoint and The Chamber.
Those titles are joined on the slate by Shiver's All Star Musicals, 5k Wedding Challenge from Boom, Big Talk Productions' The Imitation Game, The Hangover Games from Little Gem and The Most Beautiful Bride from ITV Studios France.
ITV Studios will be joined at the Formats Festival by both Talpa, who will be introducing buyers to DanceSing, The Desert and Minor Problems, and Twofour presenting Beat The Chef and Secret Teacher.
The event, taking place for the seventh successive year, will also include an early look at new launches for later in 2019.
The new shows join ITV Studios' growing slate of international hit formats, including Love Island, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, Hell's Kitchen, Big Star Little Star, Come Dine With Me and The Chase.
Mike Beale, MD Nordics & Global Creative Network, ITV Studios, said: From Operation Live, which brings a whole new level of access to surgeons and the operating table, to The Chamber, a unique new physical game show filmed underground, our new spring slate includes exciting new shows tackling their genres in innovative new ways.
Our Formats Festival enables us to get a head start with buyers on our new shows launching across the year, while also reminding them of the continued success of our existing hits performing in markets around the world, such as Love Island and I'm A Celebrity. It allows for greater context and valuable insight, and gets conversations started in earnest ahead of MIPTV and other global markets over the next few months.
Since the beginning of 2018, Love Island has tripled its overall number of international production hours and has now been commissioned in 11 territories with more to follow. Meanwhile, series 18 of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! in the UK was its most watched series ever, series 13 in Germany - where it is the number one entertainment show - has just recently aired on RTL 2, the final of series five in Australia airs this Sunday with series six already commissioned by Network Ten, while a new version has been commissioned by TF1 in France.
Full details of ITV Studios' slate, along with the Talpa and Twofour formats being presented, can be found below.

NEW ITV STUDIOS FORMATS FOR SPRING 2019
CATCHPOINT
Possessed and 12 Yard co-production for BBC One
The big, physical game in which you don't always have to be correct to win - you just have to be close enough to the dropping balls and catch them! Two teams of two answer a series of picture questions to build up their money bank. Every question has ten possible answers, each represented by an image on a giant LED screen. Suspended above the screen is a mechanism that will release a giant ball with the correct answer. Each ball caught adds money to the bank. All the players have to stand in front of the image showing what they hope to be the correct answer. If they are right, the ball will simply drop into their hands but, if they're wrong, they still have the opportunity to dash, dive or leap to catch it from wherever it falls. The closer they are to the correct answer, the easier it is to reach the falling ball. Full of unique, visual questions, nail-biting tension and hilarious fun.
THE CHAMBER
Boom for S4C
The Chamber is a unique game show like nothing else on earth or under earth. The world's first underground game show thrusts everyday people into an extraordinary subterranean world. Each episode sees two teams take on four different levels designed to test fitness, brainpower and bravery. The aim of the game is to be the first team to reach the bottom of the chamber and escape, in a race against time to crack the code before the power - and the chamber itself - shut down! With a fully-functioning international hub in Wales, based in a disused Victorian mine, The Chamber delivers a ready-made opportunity for cost-effective, family entertainment.
OPERATION LIVE
The Garden for Channel 5
Drama from the operating theatre. Live. For the first time ever, the life-changing work of doctors and surgeons is captured for live broadcast, bringing unprecedented emotional weight and nail-biting tension to the audience in real time. From open heart surgery to a replacement knee operation, we are there with the surgical team through every astonishing moment. Our host observes from a distance, accompanied by a medical expert who can take the audience through each painstaking incision and difficult decision step-by-step. An honest, moving and gripping portrayal of modern medicine in your nation.
ALL STAR MUSICALS
Shiver for ITV
Seven famous faces step out of their comfort zones to compete in an all-singing, all-dancing, musical theatre extravaganza! The celebrity cast is taken through its paces by expert mentors, who will help each individual channel their inner diva before they perform their own fully choreographed routine, re-enacting performances in front of a packed theatre and viewers at home. Can these sporting heroes and small screen stars become leading ladies and musical maestros in time for the
