Posted May 14, 200817 yr I'm not sure if this should really be here... so someone move it if you don't think it should. But anyway... Brown wants 'Apprentice'-like reality show Wednesday, May 14 2008, 12:54 BST DigitalSpy.co.uk By Simon Reynolds, Entertainment Reporter Prime Minister Gordon Brown is in discussions with TV producers to star in his own reality show, reports say. MP Hazel Blears was photographed carrying an email print-out detailing a show with the working title Junior PM to a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The email from producer Margaret McCabe pitched the show, which would feature aspiring politicians as contestants, as being targeted for the "Apprentice meets Maria/Strictly Come Dancing audience". The memo added that the show was "not stunt TV" and as a judge, Brown could become "more popular than Alan Sugar". A spokesman for Blears confirmed that a reality show was in the works: "It is a very worthy programme idea. These young people would engage and have some kind of competition, and then there would be a way of electing a young prime minister for a day. "The idea is to get more young people interested in politics. But it hasn't been commissioned yet. It is very early days." What do people think on this? Would this exposure make Brown appeal to a younger audience or is simply a waste of time and money, when he really should be doing more useful things?
May 14, 200817 yr Oh my :lol: I would be tempted to dismiss this as an April Fool's tbh, but if that's real that's really getting quite desperate on his behalf :(
