BREAKING. M-Net's Carte Blanche on its interactive, celebration episode: ''We were bowled over; we're definitely doing it again.''



You're reading it here first.

The viewer interactive 22nd anniversary episode of M-Net's weekly investigative magazine show Carte Blanche was so successful in September that the long-running Combined Artists production will definitely be doing it again.

''It was wonderful,'' George Mazarakis, executive producer of Carte Blanche tells me. ''It was an extraordinary experiment,'' he says. ''It showed that the audience - our Carte Blanche audience - is really ''with it''. They understood it. It's never been done before in the world, and we weren't sure how they'd react.''

''We were bowled over by their reaction and we're definitely going to do it again,'' George Mazarakis tells me.
