Why don't you make it like Takeshi's castle?

3 Man Millennium field format:
You are there with your team and you have three doors ahead which you have to barge your way through and still shoot at the opposing team. You barge through them to discover two are solidly blocked and on the other side are various inflatables but you must walk over giant logs with water underneath. Then you have to overcome giant mushrooms that float on a pond whilst grabbing the other teams flag! Plus all the inflatables are covered in butter so you slide straight off them! And the giant M has smoke dischargers on it!

All the time this is happening you are being sprayed with water, teddy bears, oil, foam, midgets, tigers, sinks, old inferno site markers, scorpions, Robbo's gym shorts...

The excitement factor would be A+ and throw in some guys wearing giant Panda paper maché costumes and it will hit the ratings stratosphere!

I should be a TV programmer! :D

The 2 UK shows have been Mission Paintball and X-Fire.

X-Fire was on once, and a little while ago featured on Virgin Medias on demad service.

Mission Paintball had the one series and gets repeated randomly every now and then in the early hours.

In the wisdom of L!ve TV it costs money to make a series, it cost them no more to repeat it.

PRESS RELEASE
Eurosport Paintball TV Show from Millennium Series Ltd


Last update: 9:27 a.m. EST Dec. 1, 2008
CROWBOROUGH, England, Dec 01, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- We are pleased to announce the launch of a monthly Paintball TV series to run from December 2008 and throughout 2009 on the Eurosport network covering Europe, South East Asia & Pacific, accessible in 20 languages and broadcast to 112 million homes.
The shows, to be aired in prime time slots, will centre on the 2009 Millennium Series Professional Paintball League held throughout Europe, with the first show in December covering the climax of the 2008 season. There will also be coverage given to other UPBF, (United Paintball Federation), events in 2009.
The Millennium Series is a UK company based in Crowborough East Sussex and owned by the founders of some of Europe's biggest Paintball companies; all leaders in their field.
This series has been developed over years and is widely renowned throughout the world as the pinnacle of professional paintball. The objective of the company is to increase the profile of what is one of the world's biggest participation sports. We are very confident that with the exceptional coverage Eurosport now gives us, we are close to achieving our aims.
There is much misunderstanding, within some quarters, as to what the sport of paintball is about. Like many mainstream sports, at the top level it is extremely professional and exceptional entertainment, whether playing or viewing. It is a fast athletic sport, played in open arenas to a strict rule book, with an extensive demographic, attracting people from age 12 upwards into their 50's. The 2008 Millennium Series comprised events on Fuengirola Beach in Spain, Basildon near London England, Toulouse in France, Nurburgring F1 Circuit in Germany and Disney Paris in France.
We firmly believe that the TV Show will be compelling viewing bringing a huge new audience to our sport. For those companies who realise the marketing potential of this sport, many solid sponsorship and promotional opportunities are available. Already companies such as Activision, (Video Game Publishers) have realised this potential and have secured a very beneficial long term deal.
For further information regarding The Millennium Series please don't hesitate to contact us.
The broadcast of the first show is as follows;
Europe: Eurosport 2
December 18th 2008, 20.00 Hours (GMT)
