Given the intellect of most present celebrities, I'm guessing that it doesn't.

Well they said they'd have a 'master scrabbler', and after celebs had beaten their opponent they'd win £500 but could go on to win £5000 by beating the master scrabbler, who they say should be near impossible to beat.
Tommy thinks it would make Scrabble ultra cool and they could air it twice a day, in the day for old people and Griff, and in the evening for the kids who'd want to see the celebs. Coolio kept throwing ideas and reckons it's an amazing idea and he said he's going to speak to some 'people' he knows when they get out.

I thought they were pitching a boardgame.
Duh.
Ahh, I see why you were confused then. I thought you were puzzled about the what the format could be.

Well it might be a laugh then at least. *shrugs*

I tried that with a script, but the prod co that found it said it was covered in shit, or something.
Bloody pigeons 
There are almost no pigeons in Trafalgar Square now!
How about Celebrity Commando.
This will involve two celebrities trying to exist for a week without undergarments.
In the event that they both succeed (back to Jodie Marsh!) then there will be a toss-off (keeping Jodie busy here!) as in this game there are no draws.

Now that's an oxymoron, if ever there was one.

Quote: Stu R @ January 15 2009, 11:05 AM GMTGluben, thanks for the idea.
Your show works as a format, insomuch as it would produce workable rounds and interesting gameplay, but then as would most board games of a similar ilk.
The problem, and please don't hate me for using the expression, is that it lacks a USP. There's nothing really that sets it apart from other panel shows - particularlty several on radio - and gives it a bit of oomph; nothing, ultimately, that would make a commissioner think he simply had to put this show on telly.
Would it be good for radio though?
I should add, my idea was for a TV version of the board game Articulate.
Homes under the Hammas?
self explanatory.
