So the library didn't shed any more light on Debate shows. I looked through a variety of books on genre, live tv, audiences, talk shows. Nothing!
So instead I just had a mini brainstorm. Going to watch some Question Time in a bit and look for this Frost/Nixon debate.
So these are vague ideas for my debate idea Street View.
The area of the street would be chosen at random and the street then chosen from research and questioning. I imagine the opening title sequence looking like google maps hence 'street view'. Or something similar. And we would start out and start zooming in to the street that has been chosen.
I still haven't decided on the format but either contestants can take turns at picking discussions like on Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old.
Or there would be discussions based on the following categories (probably not all of them)
Long Running Arguements
This weeks dilemma.
Controversial Programming.
My radical opinion. (One of the contestants is chosen to reveal a radical opinion they have which can then be debated)
Debate the World. (issues around the world)
this is coming together. Think about what people would be prepared to talk about and also how it affects them on a street level. IE Recent government cuts could mean less street lighting down their street etc...
ReplyDeletethink i like about this is I can see it packaged... :)
