Foxtel Upfront info

DMV is a nice get for Foxtel, as it means Harriet Dyer will be available to promote both of her shows (Colin from Accounts).

Usually the pause button is hit to change shows, freeze frame on a particular moment, or stop the viewing session altogether.

I cannot imagine who would think this is a spot that you would like to see anything (let alone 30/60 sec ads) in.

And then there’s the previous section…

So now instead of ads during breaks in play, it’s ads during the major moments of the game?

Doesn’t differ much from “goal/touchdown/chequered flag/try/etc sponsored by…”, does it?

Lana Greenhalgh, Foxtel’s Head of Scripted, told Deadline that Colin from Accounts season 3 would begin with a three-year time jump.

“Patrick and Harriett have been writing in the midst of their international fame,” said Greenhalgh. “I hope that I’m not alone in saying I’m very proud of the authenticity all our originals have, and what Colin does so beautifully is the two leads see the process through from start to finish as showrunners.”
