Before I even clicked on this thread I knew someone would have posted that! :laugh:

Here's mine:

Constipation Street: Ken Barlow is a bit bunged up. Will the syrup of figs do the trick before the adverts?

Don't Escape to the Country: Smug middle class dreamers are found their ideal property, in their ideal rural location and under budget, but reject it as all they really wanted was to be on the telly.

Bring on the Wall: Dale Winton tries to get from Mexico into the USA through a series of increasing complex gaps in the brickwork.

Cash in the Attic: how long can Australian tennis legend Pat Cash hide undetected in a selection of roof spaces?

RUSSIAN ROULETTE BENEFITS BOOM OR BUST.

I pitched this synopsis to Channel 5 some time ago. Surprisingly I am yet to receive a response?

Fairly self explanatory; Benefit claimants sit around a table. One bullet is placed in the chamber, out of the darkness, Jeremy Kyle walks onto the stage, wearing a grubby rising sun bandana and a vest, he spins the chamber.
The usual rules of Russian roulette apply. The game commences in front of a baying studio audience, whipped into a frenzy by Kyle, who yells manically as the contestants put the cold steel to their temple. "It's not YOUR money is It? NO it's all OUR money you get."
"If you've chosen the wrong chamber, that will get you off your backside sunshine."

The winner/survivor has the chance of a lifetime, offered a job in sports direct on a zero hours contract, a chance to escape the reliance on benefits. Contestants who refuse to take part could very well face sanctions.

A bunch of sweating drug fuelled bulimics get paid a fortune to ride through a mostly-unpeopled countryside for three weeks wearing skintight advertising material then finish up pretending to be mates and smoking big cigars in front of TV cameras. And then members of the public have to name the previous year's stage winners.
