TV show ideas

I had some today during a lull at work.

1. BREAKING BADGER - A spin-off of the classic kids TV series "Bodger & Badger". This show focuses on an older but not so much wiser Badger, whose life spiraled into decadence and eventual depression following the end of the show. He has lost all of his fortune, and discovers he is dying of "lack of lung" disease. In order to make some money to leave his friend Mousey, who stuck by him through all the dark times, he decides to rope in his old friend Simon Bodger, who has spent the last few months hiding from Operation Yewtree and protesting his innocence despite nobody accusing him of paedophilia, to open up a "mash lab", where they would make very hallucinogenic mashed potatoes to sell to various drug cartels in and around the Hull area. Bodger has to keep the mash lab a secret from his long-suffering wife, who we never see in the show but sometimes hear her say "Simon, you fucking reek of spuds, now tend to my needs!". Badger soon gets deep into the seedy mash underworld, until eventually he dies due to lack of lungs, whereby the series would abruptly end.

2. WHERE'S ME JUMPER? - A series based on the classic song by little known early 90s Irish band Sultans of Ping FC. A man goes to a disco and loses his jumper. Hilarity ensues.

3. SIX OLD LADIES SIT AROUND A TABLE - Speaks for itself. They don't even have any dialogue, they literally just sit there wasting away.

4. MY BIG FAT GYPSY WIFE - A very intelligent but weak-willed and mild-mannered man marries into a gypsy family all too hastily, and spends the entire series lamenting about it. His wife sits around demanding he lavish her with expensive gifts, while he plots elaborate ways to either kill her, kill himself or kill their 28 illegitimate children.

5. TOP OF THE COPS - A weekly show where police officers take time out of their busy schedule to sing karaoke in front of an audience paid to be there. The show starts with 12 and is whittled down to one lucky winner, who will get the opportunity to perform at the annual Policeman's Ball. Hosted by Fearne Cotton, Reggie Yates, Dermot O'Leary, Ross Kemp, Alesha Dixon, Vernon Kay, Keith Lemon, Phillip Schofield, Anna Ryder Richardson, Ed Tudor-Pole and Steve Lamacq.

6. 30 SECONDS TO LARS - Sort of a live-action version of "Where's Wally", in which the contestant only has half a minute to spot Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich among a very large group of people.

7. THE DEVIL NEXT DOOR - A typical suburban family is shocked to their core when Beelzebub himself moves in next door. However they are even more shocked when it turns out that the Devil is not actually the embodiment of all that is evil, but is in fact a highly regarded chiropractor from Surbiton.

8. SOAP OPERA - A live weekly televised serial in which opera singers perform self-written songs about soap.
