If MN had its own TV channel...

What the world needs is more MN, delivered to a wider audience. I have therefore whilst stuck in a traffic jam put together the basis of an idea for MNTV. Here are the totally original programmes I've come up with so far:

Cuntdown – fun wordgame in which contestants try and create profanities from a random selection of letters
Meal or No Meal – cookery programme focusing on the versatility and endless possibilities presented by the MN Chicken
Dynasty 2017 – updated drama with Justine as Alexis and Olivia as Krystle. Or vice versa. It doesn’t really matter.
Call the Midwife – fly-on-the-wall documentary/gameshow in which random women POAS and viewers phone a premium-rate number to vote on whether they can see a faint line…
Who Do You Think You Are? – televised outrage followed by flouncing
Are You Being Served? - harrowing real-life tales of funny looks from hapless retail assistants who are subsequently reported to management

I think there is definitely a market for such delights . Any more suggestions before I pitch it to MNHQ?

What's My High Powered Job Line

Contestants mime their high powered job and panellists ask them questions so that they can vote on who has the Best One, Who Is The Busiest, Who Is the Most Superior. Objective - to make anyone who has more ordinary work/is less obsessed with their work and its importance Feel Inferior.

Three in a bed
Where MNers offer support as contestant tries to put the cuddled to sleep baby down in its own cot without unleashing the kraken. Points lost for going "oh, fuck it" and just letting the baby co-sleep. (Inspired by real life events.)

Extreme Breastfeeding
MNers compete to breastfeed in the most extreme places, such as whilst hang-gliding, mountineering and at the edge of a swimming pool during high season.

Antique No-Shows

attempt to fool the panel with your lame, ancient excuse for not attending a play date or that garden party the new neighbour keeps banging on about. i couldn't find my keys! DH needed the car! we're all suddenly non-specifically 'poorly'!

FairNotFair · 13/06/2017 21:29

We could have a follow-up show called "It's an Invitation, Not a Summons", exWife? Grin

The Saturday Night Bingo Show
Hosted by Anton Dec and David Walliams-Cowell
it works just like MN Bingo.

The Matthew Always Wright Show.
A panel of Z list minor celebrities take threads off MN current news items and hoist up their judgey pants.
Hopefully there can be a competitive element to it.
The person who pulls their judgey pants up the highest wins an extra 15 minutes of fame though hopefully they might just strangle themselves with afore mentioned pants
