The Hunks ready for business

"This much flesh has not been seen on our screens since Baywatch," says a UK Reality Producer.

Now which Aussie network is game enough to bid for The Hunks, a new six-part reality series produced by Back2Back Productions in the UK?

The series promises to reveal how men really behave and what they really think about women, love, marriage, fidelity, sex and fatherhood.

According to the synopsis, “Cameras follow the guys 24/7, as they set up home in two spectacular, adjoining penthouses perched high above a beautiful sandy beach. We see the drama and rivalries that occur between the lads as they constantly strive to prove their manhood and attempt to outdo each other on everything from surfing to working out to success with the ladies. There’s metrosexual grooming by the bucket load as the guys wax, work out and dress to thrill. The guys’ pulling techniques, pack instincts and real views on women are put under the microscope, as they bare their souls and tell us their most intimate thoughts. The insights go deeper, as the lads debate more risqué subjects such as unplanned pregnancy, abortion, fidelity, fatherhood and sex.”

Gawd. And here we were thinking it was just about eye candy.

Australia’s Beyond Distribution will be representing this one at MIPTV in Cannes in April to potential buyers, and they reckon The Hunks will be out and about at market and attending several functions.

Fiona Crago, General Manager of Beyond Distribution, “It is a great opportunity to introduce our buyers to some of The Hunks at MIP. We expect The Hunks will turn heads at the market as the boys may not be dressed entirely weather appropriately!”

David Notman-Watt from Back2Back Productions said, “This much flesh has not been seen on our screens since Baywatch!”

  1. Oh please, any show called ‘The Hunks’ is bound to be as deep as a puddle. The only reason this show exists is for the eye candy. Describing it using words like ‘insight’ is laughable, as is the notion that people will be tuning in for hard-hitting debates about abortion from a bunch of Ken dolls. Surprisingly pretentious for such a blatantly trashy show.

  2. Can’t help but think it’ll be like an AFL match – once it becomes apparent nothing really tasty is shown, they’ll be no point in watching.

  3. I think this series will be rated ‘Suitable for Mature Audiences’. The Idea of strong fit men are great, but we seen enough on Home and Away and Bondi Rescue. The show will be suitable for One HD.
