Sky Living HD sits down with Typical Married Couples
Sky Living HD today announces new relationship series, Typical Married Couples (working title) a 10 x 30 minute series looking at young couples living and loving together, following a nationwide survey. From production house Fever Media, Typical Married Couples will air on Sky Living HD early next year.
The series will ask the nation’s young co-habiting couples about life together, delving into the humorous moments, endearing traits and annoying habits of today’s partnerships. Interviews and commentary from couples will offer a funny, warm and intimate look at relationships behind closed doors.
Typical Married Couples will hold up a mirror to modern relationships and delve into territories some partners may prefer to avoid. Romance, Sex and hygiene habits are all on the agenda, revealing what men and women really think about living with their other half.
Sky Living is offering customers an exclusive look into the lives of modern couples, exposing the funny, charming and idiosyncratic moments that many may recognise in their own coupling, be it a partners lack of spacial awareness for stacking the dishwasher or who has the last word in an argument.
Celia Taylor, Head of Features and Factual, Sky said: “This is a laugh out loud series that shows how couples really live and what they think of each other. Honest, funny and with so many echoes to our own relationships we are confident that Typical Married Couples is a show which will resonate with our Sky Living audience, male and female.”
Siobhan Mulholland, Commissioning Editor Factual and Features, Sky comments: “Typical Married Couples is a warm, funny and endearing look at what it means to be young and living together in the UK today. A series which Sky customers can identify with and enjoy light hearted insights into the way young couples co-habit. It will be a genuinely fun watch”
Fever Media’s David Tibballs, Executive Producer said: “Typical Married Couples is a beautifully simple, warm-hearted and funny show. It’s such a treat to hear our couples tell all about the quirks of living together and I hadn’t appreciated that we have quite so many surprising ways of making our other halves laugh, cry and explode with embarrassment!”
Typical Married Couples (working title) further cements Sky’s commitment to increase investment in original British content by 50% in the next three years. By 2014, Sky expects to invest £600 million a year in British programming across its portfolio of channels.
