³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Matt Lucas and David Walliams, creators and stars of the hit series Little Britain, will be flying down to Cannes to launch their highly anticipated comedy Come Fly With Me. ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide will introduce the new show to international buyers at a special event on Monday, 4th October.

Also accompanying ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide to Mipcom will be chilling crime, gripping human dramas, colourful children's titles and stunning documentaries.

Steve Macallister, Managing Director for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide Sales & Distribution, says: "We have been having an amazing year with drama, the quality has been exceptional. We started with Sherlock and Luther and we are now immensely proud to be bringing titles such as Upstairs Downstairs, BAFTA award winning Misfits (S2) and DCI Banks: Aftermath to Mipcom. I'm also very excited by Come Fly With Me. Matt and David clearly need very little introduction. And who isn't familiar with airports and all the peculiarities they entail?"

Set in a busy airport, Come Fly With Me features all new characters such as Walliam's moustachioed customs officer Ian, Lucas's bearded airline official Taaj plus special guest appearances. Filmed in HD, the six part series is due to broadcast on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳1 later this year.

Other comedies ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide is bringing to Mipcom are Rev, a delightful account of life as an inner city vicar starring Tom Hollander, and The Stephen K Amos Show, where viewers join the lauded comedian for hilarious stand-up, side-splitting sketches and hidden camera fun.

A stellar line-up can be found at 165 Eaton Place, Belgravia, London, as Upstairs Downstairs opens its doors again. Dame Eileen Atkins and Jean Marsh, stars of the multi award-winning and international best-selling 1970s drama, are joined by Keeley Hawes, Ed Stoppard, Anne Reid, Claire Foy, Adrian Scarborough and Art Malik, as the tumultuous pre-war period shapes the lives of this wealthy family and their servants.

Kudos Film & Television continues to innovate with its brilliant new drama, Outcasts (for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ 1 in association with ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ America), which follows a group of men and women to the planet of Carpathia in 2045, where they attempt to build a safe new home and avoid the mistakes they made on Earth. But love, greed, lust and loss are never far behind on this far from ordinary planet. Hermione Norris, Eric Mabius and Liam Cunningham star.

The thrilling psychological drama DCI Banks: Aftermath stars Stephen Tompkinson as a police chief investigating a murder shrouded in dark secrets, which tests him to the limit. Set against the contrasting beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, this adaptation brings the fictional detective created by award-winning international crime writer Peter Robinson to the small screen for the first time.

Under the Arctic Ocean, dangers also lurk in The Deep, a high-octane blockbuster starring Minnie Driver, Goran Visnjic and James Nesbitt as an elite team of scientists who travel to the deepest, darkest place on Earth in search of the solution to the world's escalating energy crisis.

The edgy thriller Mad Dogs stars Max Beesley, Philip Glenister, John Simm and Marc Warren as friends whose sunshine trip to Majorca turns into a labyrinthine nightmare of lies, deception and murder. Last but not least in this cracking drama line up is the return of the BAFTA award-winning Misfits, with the gang trying to adapt to their new lives - watched by a mysterious masked stranger.

In natural history, ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide presents Human Planet, an epic blockbuster following in the footsteps of Planet Earth and Life. From steamy rainforests to tiny islands in vast oceans and from parched deserts to the urban jungle, the series is a breathtaking celebration of the complex relationship between humankind and nature, produced by ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Earth, creator of 50 years of outstanding natural history content.

³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Worldwide's natural history slate continues with Polar Bear – Spy in the Cold, which uses specially-designed spy cameras to capture the life of a mother and her cub. And Sir David Attenborough returns with First Life, an amazing journey back in time and across the globe to discover how the earliest animals developed on our planet.

Another major documentary series is The Arctic Circle with Bruce Parry, in which the intrepid explorer immerses himself in the lives of the Arctic's people as they face up to global warming.

In history, Atlantis tells how a gigantic volcano erupted violently in the Aegean Sea in 1613, triggering the end of Europe's first great civilisation and giving birth to the legend of Atlantis. Rooted in the latest archaeological evidence, this landmark production brings the disaster facing the Minoan people dramatically to life.

The science genre features Beast Legends, which draws on eye-witness accounts, science and CGI to investigate and bring to life iconic mystery animals.

Music titles include Glastonbury 2010, which brings the atmosphere and highlights from the biggest festival in the world, with headline acts in its 40th anniversary year including Muse and Stevie Wonder, and Radio 1's Big Weekend 2010, featuring the hottest acts from the largest free ticketed music event in Europe, including Alicia Keys and Vampire Weekend.

In children's programming, Buzz & Tell is a question and answer show for preschoolers featuring a team of puppet contestants and a walrus quizmaster, while Uki is a CGI animated pre-school show starring the cute and curious Uki.
