SevenOne International: ITV picks up My Man Can
Munich, April 26, 2012. Can He keep Her
promise? The Brits are about to find out, as ITV1 has commissioned
SevenOne International´s format "My Man Can" produced by the UK´s
largest commercial production company ITV Studios. Hosted by Mark
Wright and Melanie Sykes, the 75-minute episodes will launch prime
time in 2013.
Melanie Sykes said "My Man Can is a brilliant game because us
girls always think we know what our blokes can do - but can they
pull it out of the bag when it counts?"
Mark Wright said "Us fellas always try to impress our ladies -
but will we be able to come up with the goods when it really
matters?"
ITV´s Director of Comedy and Entertainment Elaine Bedell said
"My Man Can has been a hit elsewhere in Europe, and we´re looking
forward to putting a uniquely British spin on it."
Henrik Pabst Regional Sales Director at SevenOne International
said: "With a proven international track record, "My Man Can" is
the only game show where women wear the trousers and put their
better halves to the test. Let´s see if the Brits have what it
takes."
Creative Director for ITV Studios, Lee Connolly said "This show
combines great stunts and challenges and really tests how much each
partner knows about the other. It will be a lot of fun."
