Top-rating Australian comedy smash-hit, Summer Heights High has been acquired by HBO for North America and the BBC in the UK, in two landmark deals.
HBO, America’s premium pay television channel, plans to add Summer Heights High to its 2008 comedy line up.
In a separate deal, ABC Commercial has licensed the series to BBC 3 for the UK.
