Prague, June 17 (CTK) – The programme Holiday in the Protectorate will take part in the show of European public broadcasting stations Creative Forum in Berlin, director of Czech Television (CT) Petr Dvorak told the CT Council Wednesday.
The format, called “docureality,” has aroused a large media interest in the past weeks.
The Dutch television has expressed interest in its broadcasting, Dvorak said.
“Last week, the latest programme of CT, Holiday in the Protectorate, was chosen among the 20 television projects of all European public stations that will be unveiled at the show of the most successful ones for 2015, the Creative Forum in Berlin,” Dvorak added.
The eight-episode project is loosely inspired by similar foreign formats.
The protagonists were transferred to the “Protectorate era” in which they had to fulfil various tasks.
Both Czech and foreign media primarily stressed that the events from the era could be depicted as a reality show.
Dvorak said the programme had been seen by over 300,000 viewers.
“It is for the first time that a project of this type was selected for the Creative Forum,” Dvorak said.
Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was the name of the rump Czechoslovakia in which the Nazi Germany ruled between 1939 and 1945.
