Create a New Idea for a TV Show


Glenryck Pilchards

Recommended Posts

My creative juices have been flowing after watching the classic I'm Alan Partridge episode 'Room with an Alan' where he spins off ideas for new TV programmes such as 'Monkey Tennis' and 'Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank.'

 

So what I think would be fun to do is create your own bizarre idea for a TV show which would probably end up on BBC Three or ITV2. So think of a title, a host, and a brief synopsis of the programme.

 

Mine is the following:

 

 

Full of Shit with Gillian McKeith

 

10 contestants enter a Big Brother style house with an empty stomach and more importantly an empty colon. The aim of the game is to not have a crap in the house and outlast their fellow contestants. If someone has a shit then they are eliminated from the competition and evicted from the house. The last person remaining is the winner and is declared Full of Shit and wins

Commission Impossible. 12 media studies graduates live in a house and have to come up with an idea for a TV show each week, based on a different genre. The public votes and the person behind the least popular idea is evicted. Winner gets a job. Broadcaster gets rights to all ideas.

Man v Beast

 

A man is locked in a cage and fights an increasingly sized series of animals. Mouse, cat, dog, sheep, horse, panther, rhino, elephant. Whoever gets furthest without before being defeated goes on to the Series Finale, where they fight a Blue Whale in a giant tank.

Not quite how you have described it but there has already been an American series called that

I think that's a great idea, except I think that the animal should be a random selection - that way, they won't know whether to let their streak continue for fear of facing a bear or something. Celebrities should be involved, and it should be like Deal or No Deal, with stats like "Bobby Ball has represented the mouse three times this series, but ominously, has also represented the bull on three occasions"

Like. But you need to "do a apprentice" and on purposely pick retards so that we get people who genuinely belief their shit idea is fantastic.

The Comeback

 

A selection of disgraced media personalities (for argument's sake, let's say Gary Glitter, John Leslie, Chris Langham, Jonathan King and Phil Spector) live in a house together carrying out weekly tasks in order to earn a shot at redemption - the lead role in a West End musical based on their own life. As well as competing in various talent contests to win 'immunity' from eviction, the celebrities will be placed into specially-structured scenarios designed to prove whether they truly have beaten their demons - for instance, John Leslie will take on a part-time job as a taxi driver picking up drunken girls from nightclubs, while Phil Spector will have to work as PA to a notoriously demanding female celebrity such as Katie Price whilst locked for 24hrs in a room full of guns. Who will win the public's forgiveness to receive a full government pardon (or, where a pardon is not required, a real life 'get out of jail free' pass) and the starring role in a West End show?

 

Serbian Shore

The once war-torn Baltic states are rapidly recovering from years of bloodshed and genocide to become front-runners for the coveted title of 'the new Prague'. So where better to send the party-loving cast of MTV's hit show, Geordie Shore, for a 'mad for it' lads' holiday? Watch as we see how the geordie lads' adapt their loud 'n' lairy, tried and tested pulling methods, fashioned on Newcastle's glamorous 'Diamond Strip', for use in Serbian bars where the locals don't speak their language and the walls are adorned with portraits of war criminals. Slavic women have a reputation as some of the most beautiful in the world, but if anybody can charm these ice maidens whilst avoiding unwanted attention from their ex-paramilitary boyfriends/pimps, it's Gaz, Jay and co...

Britain's Scot Talent: Watch Andy Murray take part in wacky challenges, as voted for by the viewing public. Much like in tennis, he's deemed a Brit if he succeeds and a Scot if he doesn't.

 

Celebrity Deathmatch: Just like the claymation one, except with real people. Who wins? You win.

 

Jeff's Telling: Join Jeff Stelling as he breaks away from Soccer Saturday to moonlight as a devious, house-breaking bastard and films it for kicks. "Go on, Lamps, Christine will never know" he says with a wink to the camera.

Seems a little unfair. What chance would a blue whale have against an armoured vehicle equipped with a large calibre gun on a rotating turret?

What about a drama? Call it I dunno, The End of Innocence

 

A 6/26 (depending on where you are in the world) part series following the lives of four friends from a reunion at a pub/bar in their late 20's/ early 30's to their initially mysterious and unexplained deaths, bar one of them a few years later.

 

The story is told by all the other people that they meet or interact with throughout their lives rather than through the POV of the 4 friends directly, though clearly they will feature and ends with the friends on a cliff top 1 alive the rest dead reunited for a final time.

 

Probably shit, but its a bit different
