Whilst flicking across the channels looking for something to watch on a boring Friday evening, I once again realised how many channels on Sky are for specific subjects. This made me wonder if we could have a Scuttlebutt channel. We could copy programmes which have been popular in the past, using forumites as the lead players or presenters to keep the costs down.

Here’s a few examples:

Jimi ‘ ll Fix It !! …. Probably more of a case if it wasn’t broken before, then it soon will be.

Question Tome …. Where the audience get to ask questions to a panel of experts … and cross dressers.

In SICKNESS and in Health – starring Stugeron Steve as the ideal remedy.

The Politics Show – Fronted by ParaHandy as being a well known independent who keeps his own views to himself.

Robin’s Nest – Too long ago to remember, but I am sure nookie points came into it somewhere

NigelBites - we'll need at least one cookery programme

Changing Brooms – one of those rapid renovation programmes, particularly for power boaters.

JaneyKcam – for late night adult entertainment.

We could also include contributions from our foreign correspondents, such as France, New Zealand, Australia, and the Cape Verde islands.

Must be plenty more …….

All applicants wishing to appear in front of camera must supply a CV of no more than 15 words, accompanied by a photograph.

Must be room for a reprise of that tartan folk singing show with Jimi McShand, Twister Kenneth McCulloch and Claymore & Parahandy doing that song 'Messing about on the River'

Ch5 could do Topless Mooring, BBC 1 could do Mooring Makeover. BBC2 will do Newsnight Review of Mooring Techniques and ITV will do Corry and The Bill because their advertisers don't want anything else. Cynical, moi?

Or our own version of the film 'The Day After Tomorrow' where as instead of a freighter being washed up on the high street it could be a 'Wightlink' ferry being washed ashore at Fratton Junction!

You could make a cracking fly on the wall docusoap following the everyday happenings in a busy Solent marina.

Changing Brooms might appeal to the mobos, but we could have Changing Booms.

Re: Pot Black

A show where contestants have to sail up and down main navigational routes with the object of getting fouled on as many poorly marked lobster pots as is possible in 45mins. We will need a cheeky presenter (jimi?), with an old pro (JJ?) on hand to give demos of trick foulings.

Re: 999, Emergency, Blues and Twos and....

... all that b****x.

Show which follows a busy Lifeboat crew around as they fight to cut game show contestants free from lobster pots.

Re: All Wight on the Night. aka Ticket to Ryde.

SB's own answer to Graham Norden (TK?) shows viewers clips of hair raising close encounters with Wightlink ferries.

Re: All Wight on the Night. aka Ticket to Ryde.

A Question of Ports where an invited panel have to guess which location is being described from a brief interview with a lady of the night, and a few glimpses of some obscure features.

Z Spars - a pacy sitcom featuring police boats in pursuit

Crewsnight - analysis of the days major events with interviews of key players (Wightlink has nobody available)

Slop Chest Special - a more racy insight into crew behaviour featuring gender change (definitely after the 9pm watershed)

Top Gear - destructive testing of boats and equipment with JJ doing high speed keel adhesion testing on the Brambles

Re:and a few glimpses of some obscure features.

Does this refer to certain parts of the ladies, or the ports.

Wonder if anyone will fail to recognize the hairy Gosport scrubber?
