Imagine if there were a writer's strike in the UK and the likes of the BBC, ITV and C4 approached us, as viewers, for ideas on what to fill the schedules with.
Any thoughts?

...Monkey Tennis?
I'd love to see a proper music show with unsigned bands from around the country. I'd have any band being entered, not just based on their looks or if they sound 'current'. I'd love a real mish-mash of styles and ages playing. From quasi-popular local bands to the less-well known ones. I'd love this kind of show.
Bands would be chosen (obviously they'd have to be of a certain standard) at random and asked to play a 3 song set live on the show. 4 Bands per show.
Hosted by Blaster.

A music show with real musicians instead of plastic ones is a good idea. The problem with todays channels though is that they're all youth orietated and they only want to see good-looking-can't-sing-for-toffee artists or soaps. Sod the rubbish like 'Eastenders big brother come dancing on ice down Coronation Street' its the genuinely talented members of the public we want to see not the ones who are only interested in getting on TV.

I would love to see a UK version of Takeshi's Castle, but knowing how tv works these days all they want to air is crap featuring "celebrities". I say combine the two, so I get a great game show where people get hurt doing funny things for my entertainment, as well as the added bonus of people I can't stand getting hurt.
Based on the awesome film Battle Royale, take these annoying celebrities, dump them on an obscure island and let them fight to the death until oneis left standing. Then leave the winner on the island all by themselves to rot.
There are not enough quality shows that feature robots that change into cars, dinosaurs and stuff.
Oh and finally bring back Gladiators.

You might be onto something there. A celebrity version of the Schwarzenegger film 'The Running Man' wouldn't go amiss.

Argh I missed Running man last night. It's a disgrace I don't have this awesome film on DVD.
Anyway my request has been granted........sort off.
Gladiators will be returning, but on Sky One. Oh well.

A new UK series. Though think they will implement some of the new American concepts such as water events.
I don't want water, I just want giant crash mats.

Water in Gladiators? Are they trying to turn the show into We Are The Champions or something?
Sky One has a reputation for remaking some of the best shows of old - and ruining them as was evidenced with Blockbusters.

What is the point of bringing back Gladiators if Jet is too old to ogle?
Ah memories....

The one-off special of Gladiators that ITV made about four years ago was rubbish as some of the glads were missing and the ones that were present looked too old and wore American Gladiator style costumes. It's one of those programmes that needs to be left in the past as it just wouldn't be the same. |

Wolf is living in New Zealand now and running a kids adventure park.
I am sure the new Gladiators would be a whole different bunch like the US one but with one original just for consistency sake.
As for new TV progs, a ressurection of Beat The Teacher but with Gladiators style games.

Jet is doing legitimate theatre (panto) and running a dance school. She still looks hot.
