If you've ever undergone those moments of grand delusion where you imagine you have superpowers then we have a deal for you.
Our team will come to your home on a surprise visit, kit you out in a snug Lycra bodysuit and some fake muscles (if you need them) then assist you to perform unlikely acts
of derring-do and dramatical farce, for 24 hours.
You may choose to be Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Incredible Hulk, The Tick or any other of the broad pantheon of superheroes.
You may also choose to remain completely quiet about the whole thing, or you can opt to have it made into a TV documentary, your performance and capacity for taking the whole thing in your stride is then judged and set against others' performances.
You can also choose to take no payment for it, or take a prize in kind... a million ducks.
Your Ideas are awesome

The thing is, TV is broken. |

If this idea had been in the hay(hey?)-day of television (I guess anything from the 60s up to and including the 1980s) before reality TV and today's digital myriad of shite, then it might have taken off - Millions of people all watching the same thing, talking about it the following day generates a sense of event, a feeling of connection and shared experience. Even the latest non-events such as "I'm a Celebrity Superstar Pop Idol on Ice in the Undergrowth, How Clean is my Arse?" shows lack the real sense of excitement and dream-fulfilment that used to be there in spades in shows such as "Jim'll Fix It" or "Bullseye" - and they were really crap. |

Now, when you can flip between hundreds of channels, between reruns of "America's Lamest CC-TV Footage", old Star Trek repeats, or TiVo something and watch it at your leisure, browse YouTube for your favourite comics, read some Internet, buy/rent entire series on DVD, download it on iTunes, or torrent it from a virus-heavy share-site - it's harder to maintain a stable celebrity-base within which to operate. |

If I saw this in the schedules, to be honest, if there wasn't anything else on - I'd probably still flick over to one of the Top-Gear re-runs on Dave (or, potentially, if there was no Top-Gear, "Europe's Most Hilarious CC-TV Footage of Cars") |

With proliferation of content, we have lost something. Or maybe I'm just getting old in my cynical age. |

Look it's a fair idea Unapoo deary, but I'm giving the bone,
the last thing we need is another of these type shows. This
would probably be better with celebrities than normal
people as who really cares if Jimmy saved a cat, Brad Pitt
saving a cat, on the other hand, is world wide news. |
|
| |
I'm sure you're both right. I never actually watch reality TV shows, so I'm sorta guessing as to what they'd be about. |
|
| |
I just want the grand prize, so I can use it for evil. |
|
| |
Are you planning on making the million ducks your minions in
a quest for world domination? |
|
| |
Yep. All we'll need then is a shipload of tar. I think it's an evil superhero kind of day. |
