Ten Commissions New Program
|
|
Popular television vet jumps ship to star in TEN's new factual show Bondi Vet.
Network Ten is pleased to announce that it has commissioned a brand new Australian program called Bondi Vet, which will commence production in mid-February, 2008.
 Featuring charismatic and energetic Sydney Veterinarian, Dr. Chris Brown, Bondi Vet is an unscripted eight-part, half hour television series, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Australia's most famous beach, Bondi Beach.
Chronicling the adventures of Dr. Chris, who lives and works in the world-famous beachside suburb of Bondi, Bondi Vet will allow viewers a unique insight into the world of one of Sydney's busiest vets and the animals he devotes his days to caring for and treating.
Audiences will be exposed to unusual, unexpected and extraordinary 'tails' of animals, and of course their owners, all through the eyes of Dr. Chris, adored by his clients, both the quadruped and bi-ped types.
From cats to crustaceans to canaries, Bondi Vet will show how Dr. Chris saves the lives of animals that are ill or have suffered serious injury.
Each episode will not only deliver a carefully crafted mix of human and animal interest stories, but will also feature a variety of animals that undergo elective procedures to long-term treatments involving the most intricate and technologically advanced surgery.
Not only will viewers be treated to the behind the scenes action of the veterinary surgery but they will also get a sneak peak into the life of this handsome, intelligent and empathetic vet.
David Mott, Chief Programming Officer, Network Ten said, "We are thrilled to have commissioned Bondi Vet, which expands our ever growing factual program catalogue and presents a fresh and distinctive outlook on animal shows."
"We are also delighted to welcome Dr. Chris Brown to the TEN family. His warmth, charisma and charm are undeniable as the cameras capture his every move whilst he goes about his daily life as an animal doctor in a busy urban environment."
WTFN's Director of Production Steve Oemcke said, "We have worked with Dr. Chris for over three years now. We love his compassion, intelligence and sense of humour. We're certain that the whole of Australia will feel the same."
Bondi Vet will be shot and produced in High Definition by WTFN Entertainment, which is best known for lifestyle programs including Talk to the Animals, Bread, Coxy's Big Break and Shopping For Love.
