Transcript
Lina: Anika, you are standing on the cable again. That is the entertainment desk in one picture.
Anika: I am leaning, Lina. Leaning is allowed on the rug.
Lina: Variety reports that Finnish production company Whatever Pictures has signed a new global sales deal with ORF-Enterprise, part of Austrian broadcaster ORF.
Anika: ORF-Enterprise has acquired international distribution rights to Crème de la Crème, a comedy drama about a sperm bank business. YLE commissioned it in Finland.
Lina: A sperm bank business. The Shed has never been asked to be playful. We have a lamp and a chair.
Anika: Playful and irreverent, the headline says. Mara has been suspicious of playful since the fax machine.
Lina: Variety also reports French hit Bright Minds heads to Tokyo for season seven, with part of the filming there for the first time, given how popular it is in the country.
Anika: France TV Distribution is behind the series, a light crime show. Filmed partly in Tokyo for the first time.
Lina: Light crime. Our crime is the cable under your foot, and I think it is getting away with it.
Anika: Just to be precise, Lina, it is a cable. It has no record.
Lina: The chair heard you say Tokyo, Anika. It is taking notes.
Anika: Let it. I have seen its minutes. They are mostly squeaks.
Lina: That is the Red Rug. Keep your feet on it and your hands to yourself.
