A series of exciting and appealing shows will be premiered all this month on Reality TV. December brings an interesting line-up of shows like Transplant Tourism, Bulletcatchers, G-Man: Making of an FBI Agent and Scavengers of the Savannah to name a few.

Reality TV, a 24-hour entertainment channel that showcases programmes on real people, with true stories, has been alluring audiences worldwide through an eclectic mix of real life programmes that portray a myriad of experiences, feats, idiosyncrasies, aspirations and sentiments. Each programme captures events as they actually happened, informs a media release.

Announcing the new shows, Flecka Picardo, Marketing Manager of Reality TV, said, "It has been Reality TV’s conscious attempt to provide meaningful, real life entertainment filled programmes tour Indian viewers. We are confident that these new programmes will further strengthen the position of the channel in India and will be appreciated by our viewers."

Transplant Tourism is a series on devastating shortage of organs in the industrialized world and how a growing number of patients are turning to the international black market dealing with human body parts. It is a market that is literally exploding, as more and more people from Europe and North America are drawn into the secret, lucrative and sometimes dangerous world of transplant tourism. The series highlights the opinions of medical professionals who not only admit to such practice, condemning the circumstances of the transplants but also often find themselves as the reluctant participants of post-surgery care.

Standing in the line of fire every day and responsible for the protection of some of the world’s wealthiest, most famous and most powerful faces are the Bulletcatchers. The new show, premiering this December on Reality TV, get up close and personal with extensive footage of the bodyguards protecting high profile celebrities like Sean Connery, Julia Roberts and Madonna. The show provides an insight into what it is like to be a bodyguard for some of the most popular stars in the world and those who are chased by some of their most dangerous fans.

G-Man: Making of an FBI Agent is a rare insight into the induction process, with behind-the-scenes access into each area of this state-of-the-art training compound. The FBI is famed for the exacting standards it requires from prospective agents, and this hour long special looks at the single-minded determination needed to forge a successful FBI career.

Scavengers of the Savannah, an extraordinary film, features the largest wildebeest migration of the century: a drought following an extreme El nino pushed all the beasts toward the green plains of Kenya. Some very unique material has been gathered during this epic shoot, like the unforgettable footage of hippos removing wildebeest carcasses from the Mara River’s oxbows or several young zebras caught in the dangerous river flow. Over a period of five months, using the latest techniques of macro and aerial photography, this film will follow the life and death of wildebeest, to reveal the world of the scavengers on the plains of Tanzania and Kenya, the release says.

If you appreciate impulsiveness, Wildlife Film Makers: Mishaps & Dangers is the one for you. The show will take you behind the scenes of wildlife filmmaking to reveal the unpredictable behaviour of uncontrollable animal actors. Sharks cutting the cables of the cages protecting underwater cameramen; elephants charging at vehicles; leopards entering the cameramen’s hiding place; hippopotamuses driving zealous cameramen out of the water; male dugongs mistaking photographers for females of their own species to perform a vigorous love parade; cameramen drifting away on an iceberg - these are some of the sequences featured in this documentary.
