My client has produced the first episode of a programme titled "Vy-Kings". He wants it to be broadcasted on Wednesday nights at 6pm. He now needs advice for what channel and ideas for episode 2.
The channel 'Sky Atlantic' would be an appropriate channel for this show as it is fits in with the genre of history/fighting and also features a show which is similar showing the channel would target the right audience. 'Spartacus' is the programme which the show already features. It is very similar to 'Vy-Kings' and has a very high rating so hopefully my clients show would receive the same ratings. I would also suggest to have the show broadcasted at a later time of 8pm so that it can be more violent (which its target audience would want to see) and also on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night when a larger audience would be watching TV.
The first episode of 'Vy-Kings' is about vikings fighting ghosts. My client has 2 options and this is either to cary on the season with this vikings vs ghost idea or change each episode to have vikings fighting different indigenous people (such a Romans, Mormons etc.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples). I would suggest to differentiate each group the vikings are fighting as it would be more interesting and keep the audience watching. However my client would have to ensure each episode is historically clothed and located etc so it has the right continuity.
For the second episode i think Vikings fighting Greeks would be a good seller. You could have characters like Greek Gods, Greek Heroes or Greek Mythological Creatures. See Below for some character profiles...
Greek Gods
- Zeus - Rules the Olympians of Mount Olympus and God of the sky and thunder.
- Pan - God of the Wild and Companion of the Nymphs
- Apollo - Son of Zeus and God of Music
- Hercules - Driven by love to kill his own family
- Achilles - Hero of the Trojan War
- Odysseus - Renowned for his brilliance, guile and versatility, known as Odysseus the Cunning
- Minotaur - Head of a Bull and Body of a Man, creature at the centre of the Cretan Labyrinth
- Medusa - Monster with the face of a hideous human face and living snakes in place of her hair
- Cyclops - Race of the Giants with a single eye in the middle of his forehead.
