Channel 4 launch new 'Naked Hotel Shower Controls' gameshow

Channel 4 has announced a new gameshow where members of the public choose a shower cubicle that contains a shower unit modelled on one of the thousands of shower variants used in British hotels, disrobes, enters the cubicle and works out how to start the shower and set the temperature while being filmed by upwards of twenty cameras.

'British hotel shower controls are notoriously difficult to operate and extremely variable in terms of the way they work - is it a push, pull or twist, if the latter, which way?' said a commissioning editor at Channel 4.  'Obviously the participants will be naked for as long as it takes he or she to soap all over, rinse off and wash their hair, including conditioner,' he added.

The show is open to men and women of all ages, 'but we prefer women, of course,' he added.  The show isn't about gratuitous nudity, the channel argues, but is a fun vehicle to educate the viewers on the myriad ways showers in British hotels operate, 'with a little bit of fun stress thrown in,' said the editor.

The Palace refused to comment on rumours that Prince Andrew has offered to host a junior version of the show.

Chunk of TV licence to be paid direct to Richard Osman

The BBC has announced financial restructuring to allow its top stars to have more ready access to the cream. This will be realised in professional seat sitter Richard Osman being send swathes of the licence fee on direct debit.

'I'm thrilled,' Osman grinned. 'Before this decision, I had to make up a gameshow that paid celebrities appearance fees to play games the public would play for free. Receiving a large amount of public money to turn a profit and banking the goodwill and business connections of all those celebrities took ages.'

'I'll use the money to fund a gameshow where everyone sits at writing desks and the best ideas of each person will be incorporated into my next book,' Osman smirked. "Soon to be adapted by the BBC of course.'

Osman then left the interview saying he had to visit the bank, he couldn't stop laughing.
