The division is also involved with the production of another Canadian series Billable_Hours a comedy about junior lawyers in a Toronto law firm who have too much time on their hands. The show is a co-production of Temple Street and Showcase_Television. Temple Street expanded into documentary and factual entertainment with the addition in 2002 of a division headed by David York, an Emmy award winning producer with an extensive record in the film and television business that includes feature drama, IMAX, documentary and factual entertainment programming. The division is in production on Blueprint_for_Disaster_II, the second season of a series mixing documentary, recreation and CGI to tell the story of the scientific investigations of major engineering disasters.
