There is a television programme on British TV called, ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here’. I happen to think it is dreadful and will not watch it, but many people do. Not only that, most of the newspapers report on it, too.
The basic premise is to put a number of ‘celebrities’ in difficult situations to see how they react. The participants are mainly minor celebrities and each has to undertake tasks that most of us would not dream of doing. For example, a couple of them might be asked to eat grubs for the good of the other members of the team. They reluctantly do so and the camera will zoom in as they put these living, wriggling things in their mouths. Most people shudder at the sight but amazingly, will still continue to watch. Every so often one of them is voted off, either by his peers or by the viewers. The last one is the winner.
As I say I don't watch, but what if I could choose the contestants? Would I watch it then? Maybe. So if the producers want to reverse the decline in viewers (by at least one) here is my proposal for the next series. Sorry if some of my chosen celebs are not known outside the UK.
Camilla Parker Bowles
Dot Cotton (from the BBC programme, ‘East Enders’.)
Margaret Thatcher
Charlotte Church
Catherine Zeta Jones / Douglas
Sir Alex Ferguson (Manager of Manchester United)
Sir Anthony Sewell (Shakespearian thespian, famous for his ‘rinded’ vowels.)
Tony Blair
The Archbishop of Canterbury
Mick Jagger
I think that would be an interesting bunch. Any one else got any ideas?
