Life imitates art on TV. (Alan Partridge content warning)

[CanucksTraveller]

Alan Partridge famously pitched some daft ideas to Tony Hayers at the BBC... Youth hostelling with Chris Eubank, Arm Wrestling with Chas and Dave, Monkey Tennis....

It seems that he finally got an idea past a station... I give you: Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine!

What on earth has become of television? A perfectly fine idea for a documentary, but with a celebrity chef thrown at it in a cheap attempt at a more mass appeal. Simon Reeve or Levison Wood would make good investigators of this subject, but I guess they'd say "fark" quite a lot less, and I suppose Sun readers haven't heard of them either.

Any other completely random, Partridge style, mass appeal docu-presenter mis matches?

I thought the same thing, and switched over.

A bit like The Cook Report but with a more slapstick approach.

There's a whole industry of Ross Kemp ones...
