ITV nab big shows
ITV have snapped up three of the most talked about shows screened at the US Upfronts this year
ABC's Pushing Daisies was raved about by most critics. From producer Barry Sonnenfeld and starring among others Anna Friel, the series tells the story of man who can bring people back to life by touching them, but they will die again if he touches them a second time.
CBS Swingtown stars This Life alum Jack Davenport and is the story of a group of swinging couple set in the seventies. It won't start in the US until mid-season.
ITV1 will screen both the above with Cane starring Jimmy Smits set for a digital airing. This Cuban family saga is a departure for CBS. Its also a risk for Smits who having joined LA Law and NYPD Blue in their second seasons and The West Wing even later will be trying to launch a show for the first time.
