Sky One have commissioned Credit Crunch Monty, a 90 minute male stripping special. And about time too. TV has become a feast of flesh with Dawn Porter, Gok Wan and Trinny Woodall constantly persuading women to get naked for the nation's viewing pleasure… isn’t it about time us girls got to laugh at the opposite sex naked too?
Donna Taberer, Sky1's commissioning editor for entertainment who commissioned the show, said, "Credit Crunch Monty will be a 100% feel good experience for viewers and participants alike providing a cheeky antidote to the current economic slump."
The idea is simple - a group of jobless men (shouldn’t be hard to find) will be turned into strippers in a bid to improve their self-esteem. Although I doubt the show will do anything to improve on their job prospects… unless they’re planning to embark on careers as male gigolos.
From a former City worker to a builder, these unlikely pinups will be stripping for cash in a tribute to one of my favourite Brit flicks, The Full Monty. Who said the Brits were prudish? We’re at the very forefront of tantalisingly trashy telly!
Taking inspiration from films got me thinking... how about Credit Crunch Titanic? A ruthless reality show to provide light relief from the recession – we send greedy bankers to sea and vote for which iceberg they crash into. It'd guarantee high viewing figures...
