If your family's "funny, interesting & a little bit crazy" - Muge Productions need to hear from you! |
NEWS/UK
If you’ve ever watched TV reality show, Keeping up with the Kardashians, and
thought “my family could better that”,
well here’s your chance! Muge Productions is looking
for a Turkish family in London
to feature in six 3-minute episodes that will be presented for airing on Channel 4 Shorts.
If the mini series is a hit, the producers could be commissioned to turn it
into a reality TV show on a national channel.
The show’s writer and director Muge Ahmet told
T-VINE the series is a light-hearted look at how a modern Turkish family
functions in London .
“Family life is important to Turks and
this is a fantastic opportunity to expose our culture. The family we are looking
for are funny, interesting and a little bit crazy, which all makes for great TV
viewing.”

The ideal family comprises of a mum and dad with
two or three teenage children or young adults (a mixture of sons and
daughters), perhaps
a nene or a dede, dayı or a teyze in the mix too. The show would be unscripted, aiming to capture the family in their
natural habitat over a short period of time, primarily during social gatherings
in their home, such as at dinner, or at other family moments (wedding, shopping…)
allowing viewers to gain a glimpse into family life and the different
personalities involved.
Muge, who has previously written for Eastenders
spinoff series E20 and has penned a new comedy sitcom about a Turkish Cypriot
family living next door to a Nigerian family, has been pushing for more diversity
on British television. She says, “Now I
have the attention of Commissioner from a
national TV station, I am keen to make a positive
impression”.
