A cunning plan to to stun and eviscerate anyone that produces, writes, casts or directs any and all forms of reality TV, including the one in the thread title.

My sales pitch cum business plan? All I need is about €10K...with that I intend to set up my own agency responsible for tracking down and eliminating anyone that shows even a passing interest in working in the field of reality television...armed with my trusty laptop, a permanently open Google tab, a taser and a large set of butcher's knives, within 2 years, the box will be safe once again to turn on of an evening without having to sit through the bullsh*t that emanates from it currently.

Any takers?

My idea would be for a TV show where fledgling entrepreneurs come to pitch their ideas to a panel of hardened business experts in an effort to secure investment.

What about a radar system, suitable for major international airports, which would have a back up radar system, which could be used on odd occasions where the main radar would fail?

Is that too crazy?

Some sort of international multi-sport event that could be held every couple of years in a different country each time. Could be a laugh?

Isn't it annoying when you get out the shower and have no idea what time it is? Well, say goodbye to that problem.

I call it a "towel-clock" : it has the drying power of a towel with the time telling ability of a clock.
I simply take an ordinary towel and an ordinary clock, and glue them together.

To promote my product I will need a E1,000,000 investment and a years supply of cheese.

Evidently not, but from the jist of this thread I get the impression that it's a programme where people display the next million dollar idea. And given the current state of TV I assume that the viewers vote on the best idea

A device that is attached to all computers that checks if someone is too stupid to use a computer. It this device deems you are too stupid to use a computer you'll get an electric shock everytime you touch one.

'The Steamer Sling'

A disgreet and portable device used to catapult your impromtu crap far, far away.

I would take esteemed pleasure in demonstrating by squatting down in front of the smug feckers, delivering a lovely parcel with Peter Jones name on it and pulling back the sling (past the manufacturers recommended usage limits) , letting fly with such force that he is blasted ears over ankles backwards while the rest of the judges get showered with the excess 'spray'....collateral damage.

For the bargain sum of €1,000,000 I will give the "dragons" the attention and love that they are so desperately seeking

I'll invest a week's worth of turds in this idea....I want a 40% stake in any "pointing and laughing" rights and a framed polaroid of the resultant mess for my return.

My dragons den would be a big castle made of Dutch Gold cans with Erdinger bottles as the entrance.

Look, connundrum, you've come in here with your idea for a "telephone", whatever that is, without wires, which it later emerges you don't have a patent on, you don't even have the exclusive rights to.

Then you start talking about this radar system with a back-up. I doubt any radar system wouldn't have a back up. You've done very well to get this far but I don't think you know the market well enough.

So just to let you know where I am on this now - I'm out.

I'd have an idea for a countrywide stealth tax.
It'd primarily target the poor and credulous.

I take your criticism, but you need to know that you're wrong. I'll show you up by taking my ideas door to door, until 92,000 people have given me €1 each in order to fund the further development of each project.

I'll make my way home on my trusty, self invented bicycle.

Good day sir!

A heaphone adapter that plugs into the device port and divides into two headphone ports so that you could attach two sets of headphones to one device.

Share the music!

I also think it would be a good idea to have change machines outside trolley docks. How often have you gone to supermarket to find that you don't have the exact change but have the amount in 20c or 50c coins? But I don't see how it would be a money-spinner.

you could get a transmitter to plug into your headphone port and then just tune your radio to the frequency. argos is your friend

for the trolleys some places have keyrings with two detatchable discs, one euro and two euro sized, that will free the trolleys. i got one for breast cancer awareness week, money to charity and a trolley freeing device in one

Some kind of sticky tape that would keep your phone/remote attached to your hand while you sleep and prevent them from disappearing during the night.

Also on this topic some kind of device that could work your TV remote for the person too lazy to use the remote.

Tar.Aldarion

Some kind of mouse shaped like a boob made out of a form of gelatonous substance.
Or a similar product but implanted in bras/chest. You simply tune it in, grab the boob and control the computer with the missus.
