Despite missing out on Monday, I really felt I had missed so much. I don't really know how to write a treatment in full. However today was simply to generate an idea for either a Documentary / Drama programme from news.
I looked at a few meterials:
Private Eye: - Political Mockery
- It talked about the ipad, being a bigger version of the iphone and ipod Touch. They went on to advertise Private Eye as the new ipad.
- Illegally Blonde - Idea was to have a Mock-umentary into blondes - looking in depth to Dr. Aaron's research and his way of life.
- [x] Prime Minister Dodge - NI Talks - with the IRAQ Inquiry, MP's expenses, I feel he is running Briton into the ground. The PM takes a break to try and sort out NI's troublesome past - where previous PM's and NI leaders have failed.
Ideas:
- Corrupt Police Commander
- [x]Queen - Why am i becoming common?
- Food - Eating proper at the table with family cuts child obesity
- Microwave 'Man Boobs' - How Microwaves can make 'Man Boobs' smaller.
- [x] How we are losing our British Identity?
- More UK jobs going to foreign workers
- Cheap foods / take away's
- SLOB
- Health and Safety going mad!
- Ban on parents carrying children
WHY DO WE NEED GUIDANCE ON EVERYTHING WE DO? OR THEIR IS A LEAFLET FOR EVERYTHING WE DO! (Government we are not stupid - please stop treating us like one!)
In the end I decided on the ideas about PM's Dodge, The Queen and British Identity. I felt this all linked in with each other.
This is my Pitch:
Three part Documentary running over three weeks, perhaps on channel 4 / BBC 2. With elements of a Mock-umentary / sketches about the issues at hand. This three part doc has been described as controversial. The first Doc is titled "Brit-ish: Are we losing our identity" that came from being an empire that ruled the waves.
The second Doc is titled "Brit-ish: The Queen - Why am I becoming common?". This will explore the Queen's rein and how she has become less involved in our lives over the years.
The final Doc is titled "Brit-ish: Prime Ministers Joke". This will follow Gordon Brown's time in office, (the truth will prevail). This may have have a snowball effect running up to the General Elections and could quite possibly influence the Elections.However, overall I would hope the Doc's will help those that are lost find their British roots again.
MORE EXCITING NEWS:
I received a call from Radio 1's production team for Greg James for me and a group of friends to be the audience for Feet Up Friday. I wish I didn't say could you call me back in a couple of hours. You NEVER say that to the beeb as they obviously stick to deadlines. However i did call back and I pray to god they call me back tomorrow to let me know, if not I'm sure their will be other opportunities.

Thought you did some excellent research there. Think about your titles. Look at what titles Channel 4 uses in its docs always to the point... And remember docs always offer questions as opposed to just showing whats happened.
Just had a look, perhaps these titles:
British Identity: The Queen
British Identity: Government
British Identity: Are we losing it?
The idea behind "British Identity:" is so the audience can clear see it is a 3 part Doc that links into one and other. Regarding the Questions I didn't really think about it in that respect.
