How's this for a poor taste reality TV Show:
Playing God
Tag Line: Ten lives on the brink. One Life Support Unit. Who lives and who dies? You decide...
Pitch: Take ten ordinary critically ill members of the public (young, attractive and in a coma; no obvious signs of disfigurement). Splash their tragic plights all over TV. Invite devestated family and friends to compete on Saturday night live show, offering tear-jerking set piece 'prayers' (ie; Catholic mother wild with grief wearing a shawl and clutching rosary beads; emotionally detached father breaking down and begging for one last chance to know his boy; cute little girl who just wants her daddy back, etc) to God, or rather, the public, who are only a phone vote away. Switch off the losers, until there's only one winner.
Prize: The Gift of Life.

In America someone has patented a machine that would allow them to conduct an adoption game show.
The idea is that you get a child who is up for adoption then pit three childless and desperate couples up against each other in a series of weird and no doubt humiliating tasks to prove how great they would be as parents. The viewing public then vote who should adopt the child.
The person who patented the machine is fairly famous over here. Unless it's just someone with the same name. But it isn't a common name...

Ooh, who was it? Simon Cowell? Was thinking about having him as an angel of death in my show.
Like the Iraq idea very much. But Dermot O'Leary and Uri Gellar? Surely the Americans wouldn't concede the TV rights so easily...

Right my really bad taste reality tv thingy would have to Ultimate Celebrity Saviour. Ok so each week 3 members of the general public are each given a choice of two things to save: a celebrity or something else. The something else being anything from a group of school kids on a bus teetering on the edge of an abyss to their pet cat. Now if they don't save the cleb than the celeb dies. Ok so all 3 make their decisions then the public ring up and vote for their favourite saviour. The winner gets money whilst the loosers are locked in irons and imprisoned for life.

Brilliant. Think mine needs some sort of cash incentive too. Perhaps could pool the victims'... ahem, contestants' life insurance policies, and at the end the winner walks - or rather, is wheeled - away with the lot.

Uri Geller now claims he patented this idea to stop it happening. Hmmm

There's no need for all these new reality tv shows. Just a re-think on BB.
Instead of mundane tasks like a game of Bingo, they should be made to disarm a bomb. If they fail, they die, if they don't, make next weeks task harder.

Have you ever thought of writing to The Pilot Show? You'd make huuuuuuuuuuuuge money; at least 20 pence. 20 pence you say? /me grabs notepad and pen and starts scribbling * |
