Follows Bulgarian emergency services who handle hard-partying Brits
E4 has lined up a six-part series from Parable about the emergency services in Bulgaria’s Sunny Beach, a popular party destination for young British holidaymakers.
The 6 x 60-minute Emergency on Sunny Beach follows Bulgarian police, fire and medical services as they attempt to keep Sunny Beach’s thriving tourist scene operating smoothly.
The series was commissioned for E4 by head of youth and digital Karl Warner and commissioning editor Mel Bezalel. Parable’s chief executive and founder David Wise and Benjamin Leigh serve as executive producers and Simon Davies is series producer.
“By asking local emergency workers to reveal their dealings with young Brits, we’re seeing ourselves through a different lens – how we party, how we graft and how we behave with our friends when we’re far from home,” said Bezalel. “With unique insights from these hard-working frontline workers, this series will be funny, incisive and bring some surprising anthropology to E4 and All4.”
Wise added: “Sunny Beach is such an extraordinary precinct in which to make a doc series. It’s so full of life, character, drama and humour and we believe that featuring the hard-working locals and looking at the hedonistic tourist scene through their eyes will be a real treat.”
The series will TX in 2023.
