That......is.......awesome. Dead Cat Island. No-one likes cats, but many like dogs. Cat fanciers are all wierdos.

This was part of a technical spec that was sent to me. If it was on TV, I don't think I'd miss a single episode.

By the way, if there are any Reality TV executives reading this - hardly likely, I know, but - here is my idea for a Reality TV show. It's called 'Dead Dog Island', where a group of contestants / dog lovers is asked what is their favourite breed of dog, then whatever they reply (for example, 'Poodle'. Or ' Labrador') they are then presented with a dead dog of that particular breed, which they have to cook in a number of different ways, say about six or seven, and then eat it all up over the course of the next oooh... two weeks or so. But just to make it a little more difficult and sort of gameshow-y, all the knives are blunt, and they have to wear a pair of those enormous clown trousers, made out of wood or something, so that they can't quite reach anything. Well only just, anyway.

The first person to completely eat all his (or her) dog, and not be thrown off the island by the public for being too pleasant, or maybe unpleasant, wins another, live dog of exactly the same breed. And pots of money. And free dog food for life (of the dog).

This all would take place on some romantic tropical island somewhere, so it would all be very visual and make really super telly. Maybe there could be a celebrity version, with currently out-of-the-spotlight celebrities in it. Does anybody know if Cher is a dog lover? I think Stevie Nicks probably is.

Oh, and no sicking it all up into a bucket every night when the cameraman goes to bed. That would be frowned upon...

Did this come to you in a dream oliver?
Or maybe on the loo after to much curry?
Or is this something you smoked before you typed this post

I explained how it came to me in the first sentence. Just to recap....

This was part of a technical spec that was sent to me.

The 18 page technical spec was sent to me by Jos Grain, roadie for Iggy Pop. I work as a tour monkey during my holidays and as I'm also a fan of trashy reality TV and not a Reality TV producer myself, I thought I'd put it out on seabreeze for the following reasons:

a. There could be a Reality TV producer reading this, who may think "Wow, what a great idea"
b. I was working on it, it made me laugh, and I wanted to share it
c. I had a few scotch and cokes
d. Was not coherent enough, at the time, to suggest that someone else may have some hidden ideas on a Reality TV Shows they'd like to share - are there?

Oh I seeeeee. That explains it
"A few" eh? It's so easy to lose count.
