Whose Head Is In Your Freezer?
That’s the title of my new TV game show concept. Catchy isn’t it?
Like all great game shows the format is simple. Each week a different celebrity guest wheels a portable freezer onto the stage and answers questions from a panel who try to establish Whose Head Is In Your Freezer?
When every panel member has made a guess, the celebrity is invited to open the freezer to reveal whose head they chose. It could be anyone, from Admiral Lord Nelson to Delia Smith. But because of legal reasons we will probably have to substitute lifelike papier-mâché replicas instead of actual heads, especially if the subject is still living.
The celebrity is then invited to explain why they chose that particular head and everyone applauds.
Finally any panelists who guessed correctly get to determine whether the head is put on a spike in the Whose Head Hall of Fame - which will be in the Blue Peter studio - or flung into a ditch. If none of the panelists guessed correctly, everyone signs the head and it’s donated to charity.
I think the show would work well on Channel 4 (just after the news) and ideally would be co-hosted by Lesley Grantham and Anne Widdicombe.
Delia Smith knocked on my door during that hot summer of 1976 and asked to
put her head in my freezer. I invited her in, witnessing her freezing
shenanigans and then she just upped and left, without even a "thank you."
For her to appear on your TV show would be payback for me. Go to it, young
man.
