Sydney- BBC Worldwide’s Sydney office has licensed a package of factual programs to Australia’s Seven Network, led by Fight for Life (6 x 50’), a BBC / Discovery Channel / DCTP production celebrating the body’s capacity to counter serious illness. Also in the package are three one hour programs from British documentary-maker Louis Theroux: Under the Knife, an investigation of liposuction in the US; Gambling in Las Vegas, where he spends a weekend at a casino; and The Most Hated Family in America, in which he profiles the Phelps family, who picket the funerals of US soldiers, arguing the Iraq war is God’s punishment for tolerating homosexuality. Rounding out the package are Everest ER (1 x 60’), an Indus Films production which follows two doctors and their teams as they battle against the varying conditions to which Everest climbers can fall prey, from frostbite and broken bones to altitude sickness and fluid on the lungs; and The Woman Who Can’t Stop Lying (1 x 40’) from True North films, looking at three men who confront their former lover and wife on her release from prison, joining forces to discover how and why she was able to defraud them of their money and homes.
