Strange one but does anybody know how you go about pitching an idea for a show to the various tv companies or studios ?

the bbc and channel 4 website used to have a page where you can send them your ideas and pitch stories to them,
other than that these can help you out http://www.sellyourtvconceptnow.com/freereport.html?gclid=CLe1vJ-rx5MCFRaHMAodTz3SBw

might also be worth speaking with independent television producers and going in with them as they have the know how and infrastructure to bring your idea to life, of course it would mean equity partnership for them but may pay in the long run on the return.

I know you probably wont want to tell us what the idea is but is it a documentry, film, reality show etc?

I always thought that Celebrity Sh!t Bucket would take off....:d

It involved a number of famous people trying to kack into a bucket from an increasingly tall set of ladders!;) It would certainly be an end to Saturday night boredom eh?

Three kitchen floor coverings, three top celebrity guests.
Does the Rustic Farmhouse linoleum belong to Russell Grant or Chris Quinten (Brian Tilsey off Coronation Street)?
Does Vanessa Feltz go for faux Mediterranean tiles - or a cheerful Oranges and Lemons print?
The guess is yours

Thanks for the help, i will look in to it.

It is a docu / reality idea. But none of this text your favoutire to win BS that is on everything these days.

I can't do it myself so i need a tv company to pay for it for me :D

Endemol might be a good idea if it is reality...

Although now the mighty Baz is no longer in charge, who knows what'll happen?! ;)
