The Rose d'Or festival is an annual event that attracts over 1000 delegates from all over the world to celebrate the best in international entertainment television programming. Durrant, along with a South African delegation from Penguin Films, was already scheduled to attend the festival where e-tv's hit local sitcom, "Madam & Eve", is in competition for the prestigious Rose d'Or award.

Tiger Aspect is responsible for popular British series "Mr. Bean", "The Vicar of Dibley", "The Thin Blue Line" and more recently the features, "Bean" and "Billy Elliot".
