Idea for a DVD concept - "Star Trek - Virtual Girlfriend Edition"
OK, some of the previous sitcom ideas have been a bit ropey, but this one is pure gold for the nerd market.
Basically, it's an edition of the Star Trek DVD box set where as well as the usual commmentary track extras, you can select an option where a female voice periodically asks "Who's that? Why is he a baddie this time? What are diluvium crystals? Didn't she used to be in that other thing? This is boring. Let's watch 'Holby City'. Did you remember to put the bins out?" and such like. The idea is to a) give lonely nerds a little bit of the feeling of having some company and b) to remind them that having a girlfriend would certainly interfere with enjoying their Star Trek DVDs.
Initial test marketing to take place in Japan, obviously. I'm seeing Davina McCall for the voiceover, with an additional option for Jane Leeves.
tastes will of course vary, but the concept of davina-as-girlfriend would go in the obvious-vast-upsides-of-a-solitary-life column
ReplyDeleteBrilliant.
ReplyDeleteI think davina is more likely to be a mother figure these days, but, er, yeah.
ReplyDeleteIt'd have to be Fearne Cotton, for the simple reason that she's on every other fucking television programme.
I'd also nominate Holly Willoughby, but has anyone ever heard her speak for long enough to recognise her voice?
