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?

There is a no swearing watershed.
Swearing is only allowed from 00.01 until 23.59.
Any swearing outside of these times will be bleeped out.
Cue Presenter forgetting their mike is is on and yelling "Where's the Fucking bleep button?" at midnight.

Location Location Location

A parking thread, where, every week, someone parks in a marked parking bay and Mumsnetters phone in to suggest what kind of car couldn't possibly park alongside and still have room to get a baby out.

Could possibly be done with diagrams.

One named every minute
On a labour ward babies are named by viewers texting the show after seeing the babies and which name their faces would fit. Parents are allowed to give birth in the Great Portland for free if and only if they accept the names suggested. If they don't accept the names, they are charged a full day's rate, and denied a meal.
