Biography

Gat's first hit was the crime-comedy TV series "Linda" (1984–1989). "Linda" starred his wife Nóra Görbe.[3][4]

It was during the pre-production of "Linda[5]" that Gát became Hungary's first independent television producer - a position that at the time the regime did not acknowledge.

He subsequently created series "Angyalbőrben"[6] (1990–1991), "Familia Kft."[7] (1991–1997), "TV a város szélén" (1998),[8] "SztárVár"[9] (2005) and the animated series "Szerencsi fel!" (2004).

In 2008 he co-wrote and co-directed a sequel to animated movie Vuk (film), called "A Kis Vuk"[10] (in English: A Fox's Tale).
