Carlton America is developing a version of Soldier, Soldier for the American television market.

The Hollywood Reporter has reported that writer-producer-director John Sacret Young (The West Wing) is working on developing the military drama for the US market. Carlton is apparently still in talks to find a network on which to air the reversioned drama.

Also in development for the American market is UFO.

Carlton America's president, Stephen Davis, said:

"The television industry has focused much of its attention on reality formats over the past several years. In comparison, the scripted format business has taken a back seat to reality, and in our view, drama formats will be the next big trend in the global programming business."
