SevenOne International has sold the production rights to Flemish TV show Benidorm Bastards (Off Their Rockers) to Turkey's Konsensus TV Productions. The winner of the Golden Rose award, Benidorm Bastards is a candid camera show that follows seven senior citizens whose mission is to roam the streets and blow the minds of as many young people as they can.
The Benidorm Bastards format was developed by production company Shelter. The Flemish version of the show first aired on commercial TV channel 2BE and VTM and was an instant success.
The format has previously already been sold to well over 20 territories, including the US where it will be hosted by Betty White (NBC), the UK (BBC), Germany (ProSieben as Old Ass Bastards), Sweden (Kanal 5 as Pensionärsjävlar), The Netherlands (RTL 4), Denmark (SBS as Rollator Banden), Norway (TV Norge as Bingobanden), Romania (TV 2 as Batrani si Nelinistiti), Australia (FOXTEL) and South Korea (tvN as JeulGeoUn In Seng).
Besides winning a Golden Rose, the format also got nominated for this year's Emmy's in the Best Comedy category.
