As much as I would love to see those idiots in the bb house got at it in the garden I do agree that it probably isn't a good idea.

Strongl made some sense so here is some info if you all want to take it forward.

Eurosport programmers e-mail comheadoffice@eurosport.co.uk

Or I got this from the Channel4 site;Programme Ideas
We would advise you that Channel 4 do not make the programmes we transmit but commission or purchase them from independent production companies and distributors. Additionally, we will consider unsolicited programme ideas and scripts as long as they conform to the following criteria. Please take a look at our producer’s website – www.channel4.co.uk/4producers
Programme suggestions should give a clear idea of your aims and how you envisage the programme. A one or two page proposal is sufficient in the beginning and a budget is not necessary. However, sometimes a ball park figure is useful. All scripts must be submitted in typed script format and addressed to the Commissioning Editor of the department to which your proposal is best suited. Our Commissioning Editors are responsible for the following areas:
ARTS & RELIGION; CHILDREN’S & YOUNG PEOPLE; COMEDY; DAYTIME; DOCUMENTARIES; DRAMA; EDUCATION; ENTERTAINMENT; FACTUAL ENTERTAINMENT; FEATURES; HISTORY; INDEPENDENT FILM & VIDEO; MULTICULTURAL; MUSIC & PERFORMANCE; MUSIC & YOUTH; NATIONS & REGIONS; NEWS & CURRENT AFFAIRS; SCIENCE; SPECIALIST FACTUAL; SPORT
Alternatively, you could approach an independent production company with your outline and persuade them to help develop the idea. The television trade newspaper, BROADCAST, publishes a directory called 'The Production Guide' which lists names and addresses of independent production companies. The British Film Institute also publishes a Year Book which lists production companies. PACT (Producer’s Alliance for Cinema and Television) publish a handbook with details of their membership which is made up from independent production companies.

Right-o Strongl and djmatt. You don't actually expect the producers of BB to use paintball as a task do you? The Logistics of pulling this off are huge. The idea is to bombard the show with paintball related text under the guise of suggestions for the show. This then gets people wondering why theres a sudden influx of people mentioning paintball [even if they are not reading the bits at the bottom the will see it subliminally] and that gets them down to thier local site, hence more people playing the sport.

Oh Dammit no its not its just a laugh and I want to know if we can invade a tv show.

Right guys you need to send your texts about 6pm on thursday.

4. Considered the safety aspect? The idiots in the BB house are so vain (to wanna be in there in the first place), they'd be lifting their masks every two seconds. It's not as though you can put a Marshall in (unless Tortoise Licker is volunteering to spend the next 6 weeks inside?). Whoopee one of em gets tagged in the eye - then what?

.
Sorry can't do this. Reasons:

1. I'm off to Joy masters in 5 weeks.
2. I'm not sure I would want to be in the same bedroom as shirt-lifter Federico.
3 Who else would post crap on the forums?
4 Rancid is better for the job [see reason 2]:D

Campaign aka me home
getting it on t.v. might attract viewers and bring more players into the game.(GREAT) but if we want this to happen the game needs to be played fairer.

we need to show people that paintball is a sport.
