Publisher's Summary
Two of the most popular shows on television are U.S. versions of shows originated in Britain. Fresh Air's Terry Gross talks with the people behind them on this edition. David Briggs is the creator of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, which premiered on British television in September 1998 and thereby set the phrase (or its translation) "Is that your final answer?" into orbit. The show's format has been licensed in 80 countries including India, Japan, Greece, and of course, the U.S. Charlie Parsons invented the reality format show Survive, but couldn't get any interest for it in Britain. In 1996, Strix Television in Sweden bought the format rights for Survive, and went on to produce Expedition Robinson. It has become the most successful and controversial TV series in Scandinavia. Anna Brakenhielm is managing director of Strix Television and the woman behind Expedition Robinson. It's now in its fifth season.
