CANNES -- As many executives started to trail out of Cannes as MIPTV wound down, the changeable weather during the first three days of the confab seemed to reflect the market's mood: overcast in places but with sunny patches breaking through. Most attendees agreed that the corridors of the Palais had seen a satisfactory level of traffic -- sellers' timetables seemed as busy as ever -- and there was a steady flow of announcements even if there were few standout deals. "Compared to the last couple of years, there's a really positive attitude," said Leslie Jones, vp international sales at NBC Enterprises. Jones reported a strong interest with deals pending on sex-therapy comedy Significant Others, documentaries Princess Diana: The Secret Tapes and Born Rich and its new format Knock First, from the creators of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. "And a lot of people are coming back for 'Queer Eye' because they've seen the ratings in Australia, where it's getting a 52% share in its key demographic," Jones said.
