damnatio ad bestias

The BBC's looking for new programme ideas again. They've yet to accept any of my previous offerings, so I've modelled this bid on something they already like and given it a modish political angle.

Along the lines of BBC3's worthy "Snog, Marry, Avoid", I'd like to propose "Shelter, Shag, Shunt".

Exclusively nubile asylum seekers are assessed by a panel of sandpapery newspaper columnists, loathesome hipsters and Radio 4 official comedians to decide whether to:

  • house them for free in the attic of the North London mews you share with your dreary Quaker-lite family;

  • employ them as, er, nannies;

  • or/and denounce them to Immigration.

nominations for panelists below, please.

If the Beeb's not interested I may try Sky, or the Home Office.
