Saturday night TV
A co-worker and I were just discussing how to liven up the Saturday night TV schedules, particularly for ITV. We have a flawless money-spinner:
Celebrity Running Man
First of all, we take some urban area that isn't very useful anymore. I dunno, Liverpool or Coventry or somewhere. Then we evacuate it while leaving useful killing implements and random tools there. Then we add the contestants. Our preferred trio of victims heroes are Ant, Dec, and Lulu. This might be unfair as Ant and Dec might become one large blob of contestant, but I don't feel this is too problematic.
Two team captains for the hunters: John Malkovich and Anneka Rice. Between them, they will lead teams of other celebrities who will hunt down Ant, Dec, and Lulu.
The problem is... who to present this? My first suggestion was Sharon Osbourne, but that somehow doesn't quite work. Then I thought of Wincy Willis, but doesn't John Malkovich have to become Kenneth Kendall then?
Also, once Ant, Dec, and Lulu have become sufficiently dead maimed, we need to replace them, which just leads to even more problems.
Making television programmes is an absolute nightmare. But still, I think this is needed to save Saturday night television.
