TV Studio Final Planning

We are getting closer and closer to the filming of our TV show so I thought I would update you with all that has been going on and our final show and guest idea!

After compiling all of our ideas together we went with Dave's idea of female boxer, Natasha Jonas. She was in this year's Olympics, being one of the first female boxers ever to compete in the Olympics. We were really excited about getting her on the show as she would be a fascinating interview as she could tell us all about the Olympics and talk about female boxing which is an extremely topical and controversial issue at the moment. Dave managed to get her to agree by contacting her through the gym that she trained in. However unfortunately, she suddenly stopped contact with us and we had 2 options. We could either keep going with the contact in the hope that she would eventually reply or give up and find someone else. We decided to go with the latter as we didn't want to be left there on the day without the guest. This opened my eyes up to the unpredictability of TV and people can just let you down so it is vital that you always have a back up option. Thankfully we did. We still wanted to stick with a sporting guest we managed to find another local boxer called Dexter. He was getting ready for his big sporting comeback so he would have a lot to talk about relating to that. We could also bring up the contraversial issue of female boxing too so we were happy with this decision. 

When deciding on the concept of the show we felt it was vital to do something completely new that had never been seen before. The brief stated that we needed a quirky and unusual concept and we wanted to follow this to the full degree. We thought about what type of shows that there is a gap in the market for and what type of people would be at home watching lunchtime shows. We knew that a lot of women are housewives and stay at home mum, however there are also a lot of men who don't really have anything to watch at lunchtime apart from 'Loose Women'. We combined the idea of our sporting guest and a show which is suitable for both sexes and came up with the innovative idea of a sports show that is aimed at women but men can also enjoy - think 'Soccer AM' meets 'Loose Women'. I was really proud of this idea because it was something completely new and definitely fitted the brief.
