    Scene from Men With Brooms (2002)

    Another story we've been sitting on is now... oot and aboot!

    The 2002 curling movie Men With Brooms, recently given a positive plug by the Huffington Post, is back ... on the small screen.

    A pilot episode was filmed back in December, with the on-ice scenes taking place at the Dundas Granite club near Hamilton, Ontario, and word came down last week that CBC has picked up the series for the 2010-11 season.

    Fans will remember the film version came out in 2002, just in time to tap into the Salt Lake City Olympic fever. In keeping with the imminence of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, here's the CBC pickup news in German (!!), courtesy of Swiss TCN reader Martin Stucki.

    Canadian media are now aware, and have picked up their coverage.

    The Curling News was privileged to be invited to the set in Dundas, back in December, and we invite you to subscribe today as we will have a full behind-the-scenes report, plus exclusive photos, in a future edition of the newspaper.
