Mad for it

BBC1 Controller Danny Cohen has turned once again to the creative powers of the Netherlands for another Saturday night format. After The Voice, production company Talpa has sold "I Love My Country" to Auntie for eight 50 minutes shows.

Pedigree ? Variants already on offer in Belgium (Zot Van Vlaanderen), France, Bulgaria, Belgium, China, Croatia, Czech Republic (I Love Česko), Denmark (Hva sa Danmark), Georgia, Germany (Ich Liebe Deutschland), Greece, Italy, Middle East (18 countries), Nigeria, The Netherlands (Ik Hou Van Holland), Poland (Kocham Cię Polsko!), Romania (Iubesc Romänia), Serbia (Ja Bonhm Cpghjy), Ukraine (Я люблю мою країну), Greece, Slovenia, Hungary.  Here are the original hosts of "Ik Hou Van Holland".

I Love My Country

British viewers will have the charms of David Walliams, Frank Skinner and Micky Flanagan. Co-producers are Avalon Scotland - but I'll be astounded if it's actually made north of the border.
