''ZERO91'' is a unique TV-first for Malta: it follows a group of Armed Forces of Malta's recruits (Intake 091) during their Basic Military Training course between Spring and Summer of 2009.
This reality-TV documentary programme is a yet untried concept on local Maltese TV, as it adopts the ''fly-on-the-wall' style of journalism, so familiar thus far in many other Big Brother-style shows.
The joint-production team, which includes Basement Productions, AFM media and public relations staff, follows the daily training of the AFM recruits: from their first day of enlistment and kitting out of their equipment gear, through the parade-square foot and arms drill bashing by their Drill Instructors, along with their intense 2-week lock-down living-in barracks period.
Twenty of these recruits have been selected by our joint-production team, and will be followed closely out of the remaining 40 others that make up two squads of this recruits' intake. We'll follow them closely, seeing their character and personality changes from a civilian into a trained soldier, their attitude changes to life. We delve into their family lives and its background, how they come about to reacting instinctively to barked orders, changes to their physical and mental stamina and their improved capabilities, as they mill through a myriad of military exercises.
This programme is all there for you: from day one of the recruits' enlistment to their last together as a band of brothers in their respective squads, when they perform their Passing-Out Parade before the Hon. Prime Minister.
We'll show how aimlessly dazed and often confused young men are turned into proud Maltese soldiers.
This locally never previously attempted TV-programme concept offers an unprecedented open-door insight into one facet of AFM soldier-training, and it promises to instil a sense of pride and appreciation for those few men in army fatigue uniforms who make a selfless sacrifice to the Nation through their diligence, professionalism, and dedication to duty.
Each episode of this programme-series will show various training processes like physical fitness and weapon training, map reading and skill-at-arms down range, foot and arms drill, and much more.
Our innovative filming-action style will be edited in a fast-paced manner to originally composed music tracks.
''ZERO91'' promises to be one of the most followed TV shows during October 2009's programming-schedule on Net TV.
Aired every Thursday on Malta's NET TV at 20.30hrs (CET), and webstreamed via www.di-ve.com TV on demand feature For advertising Contact Email: basementprod@gmail.com

The P31, a former AFM patrol boat, has been scuttled off the west coast of Comino in the area known as tal-Matz.
The 52-metre boat was scuttled at a depth of 18 metres. Part of its mast had to be sawn off so that there would be a five metre gap between the top of the boat and the surface of the sea.
The boat was towed by the mv Sea Wolf II on Monday 24th Aug., 2009 and was positioned for scuttling by a Cassar Ship Repair Yard representative.The boat has been stored at Cassar's yard since 2005, after it was decommissioned by the AFM and bought by the Malta Tourism Authority.
MTA project coordinator Mark Scerri Simiana said that this scuttling followed that of the P29, in Cirkewwa in August 2007. Both projects have been fully financed from the MTA's budget.
The P31 is now a wreck for the diving industry and will also aid the eco-system as it will increase the small fish population.
Tourism Parliamentary Secretary Mario de Marco said the Maltese islands last year attracted almost 55,000 divers with the majority hailing from the UK, Germany and Italy.
Malta had over 20 particular diving attractions inlcuding nine purposely scuttled vessels and the country's diving product was renowned the world over with the diving community.
"Malta has been voted the third best diving destination in the world by some 35,000 readers of the UK publication DIver Magazine, preceded only by Egypt and the Maldives," he said.
Both the P31 and the P29 were used in East Germany in the cold war era to patrol the river banks between the east and the west. They were also used for mine sweeping operations between Germany and Denmark. The AFM used them to patrol the continental shelf and against smuggling operations.
