DCD Rights is taking the US version of Penn & Teller: Fool Us to MIPTV, having secured a Asian presale ahead of the market.

NBCUniversal International Television-owned Universal Channel has bought the show, which 117 Productions and September Films is producing for broadcast network The CW.

The 13x60mins series deliver to US TV in July, and will follow the original UK version, which ran on The CW to good numbers last year.

Penn & Teller: Fool Us sees illusionists perform magic tricks in front of the titular magician duo, who are tasked with guessing how the tricks were done. Jonathan Ross hosts the show, which is filmed at the Penn & Teller Theater at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas.

DCD Rights, the sales arm of UK-based DCD Media, will be preselling the new version in Cannes.

“Magic programming has experienced a great surge in popularity over recent years and this new series, offering a thrilling combination of magic, comedy and competition, will offer hugely entertaining primetime content for a global audience,” said Nicky Davies Williams, CEO at DCD Rights.

This week would be good, as the show has started today, more news of rights sales and a trading update would do the world of good.

News!!!!

We are very excited to announce that the first show in the new series of @CelebSquares will be on Sunday 19th April.

So the question is, do we get a Third commission for later on in the year?

If the Second show is as good as they are saying, this must be on the cards.

More Profit for 2015.

Hi PhantomF4M
Just been looking into your comments, We will by now of paid off all our bank and overdraft debt, and yes we have some convertible loan notes to sort out. Both matures in May 2016.
(In addition, the conversion price of the convertible loan notes that were signed in May 2013 will be changed to match that of the new 2014 convertible loan notes.)

[phantomf4m] 08/4/2015 02:45

If I recall correctly we are approaching maturation date of the first batch of convertible loan notes (May 2015). Second batch matures in May 2016. Risk of potential dilution about to be eased or realised.
