Hatch starring Colin Firth.

Douglas Hatch is a store detective for a popular retail branch (to be modelled on Littlewoods). He is a charismatic man whose maverick approach to his work brings him into regular conflicts with floor manager Marjory Williams (Gillian Taylforth). The dark, smouldering side of his nature will be represented by an interest in backgamman.

Episode one: Hatch discovers 2 packs of pillow slips are missing from the bed and linen department. He faces a crisis of conscience when suspicions fall on kindly nun Sister Matthews, a woman for whom Hatch once mowed her lawn as a bobajobbing scout. Will he be able to keep his secret safe from Marjory Williams? Can he avert the hysterical panic of the local parishioners?
To be continued...

"It's My Goldfish"

A popular quiz aimed at a family audience. Contestants will face a panel of goldfish lovers and will have to ask them a series of questions about their beloved pets. However there will be a catch! One of the goldfish lovers will simply be an actor lying!
Will they be able to correctly identify the rogue goldfish "lover" before the clock times out? If they do, they can win a luxurious weekend break in a Scottish village of their choice.

This will be a quiz of tension and fear, and will also serve as an important educational tool for the young 'uns as they find out about the unique personalities and lifestyle of the goldfish.

Er, Big Slasher Brother. Everything is permitted. In the house, normal legislation is not valid. There is a nice room with all kinds of tools and appliances, like saws, drills, you name it. And a strong water hose to clean up eventual human residue.
Could this be a success?

You're useless. That's not a rubbish idea, it's a great idea.

'Add Egg!' - hosted by Rik Mayall.

Contestants are given an egg, and a taxi fare. They have to go somewhere in the taxi and add the egg to something. For example, they go to a hospital and put it in the doctor's coffee. Or they leave it next to a statue.

Wife Swap 2
Fly on the wall documentary that takes two families and allows the husband, in consultation with the kids, to choose something fantastic that they'd all like (say, a small hovercraft or their own private helicopter) and they get that in return for the wife. After two weeks they get to choose whether or not to give it back.
He's a simpleton. 200 years ago they wouldn't have let him milk a cow.
