Inferno

I had a great idea for a tv show for adults, a quiz/game show called Inferno. It sounds rather dramatic, but it’s not.

You have a small audience of maybe a hundred or so, mainly young folk. Someone is picked at random to come and answer ten straightforward general knowedge questions.

The first is worth £1, the second £2, the third £4 and so on, doubling each time so the tenth is worth £512. But the sum accumulates, so after two questions you have £3, after three you have £7 and so on, so getting the tenth wins you £1023. Great for maybe a couple of minutes work.

Web site

I had an idea years ago for a web site that seemed unique. Half the trick of being successful is having a unique idea.

The idea was for some kind of social networking site/forum/whatever where people could post their experiences in shops, restaurants, bars… especially if they had good service. In particular, I wanted to pick out staff who were particularly friendly, nice, good looking or just plain sexy as hell.

I did set it up, but it went nowhere and nowadays, sites like Facebook and Twitter allow you to do the same thing very easily.
