Strictly Reality.
One really has to wonder what the next UK-TV 'reality' programme can possibly be.
'Strictly Come Hair-Combing' perhaps? Or maybe 'The Great British (insert country of choice) Brush Off'?
Personally I would like to see a show called 'Politicians/Celebs living on £20 a week', or even an 'Oxfam is my Tailor' show (this sounds VERY good; 'Oxfam' is a UK charity shop).
Come on British TV, give me a call; I'm a bottomless pit, when it comes to ideas!
Those two ideas are really good Cro ..... get your name to them before someone nicks them, and you could be a 'meal yon aire' !! ..... Cro Cowell has a nice ring to it ! XXXX
I like your ideas too... We call them op shops' here (short for opportunity shops). There's local hospices, Red Cross, and many others. Seems with the recession, they are a booming business!
"Come crochet"? where the competitors would have to crochet to music, a different item every week, doilies, pot holders, hats...and crochet-offs where sloppy crocheters would be eliminated and sent home..
Our Toronto Mayor could have his own reality show....maybe called "Crackstituants". It could follow his antics smoking crack (on video) driving on the highway while reading his agenda, getting totally drunk at a street party, peeing in the bushes, and passing out advise on the best place to get drunk.....he's a disaster...the stuff reality shows is made of. You couldn;t make this stuff up.
I don't watch tv anymore. I have seen a few shows on my computer or renting the DVD, but i'll be buggered if i'm going to pay for reception just so i can switch it off in disgust.
Your ideas for tv shows sound good, Cro. Completely plausible.
THE BELLS ..... THE BELLS ..........

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!

ReplyDeleteIt would make an interesting show, come election time!
DeleteExtreme Ironing is a world wide "sport" . Google it!
ReplyDeleteI think that would be - um- interesting.
It sounds soporific enough... it could be a hit.
DeleteThe money spent on costumes and make up for one week of Strictly Come Dancing would probably feed a family of five for a week.
ReplyDeleteA lot more than a week; probably a year!!!!
DeleteAmerican reality shows are just horrid. If that is what reality is, I'm happy to stick my head in the sand.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention that I don't know how to turn on this fancy TV? All the more reason not to learn.
ReplyDeleteCelebrity nursing shift
ReplyDeleteHow's that
