Idea for a new TV show?

While snoozing ( well, almost!! ) in the bath last night, I got thinking about the plethora of self-help / Joe Public type shows on TV at the moment. You know the sort I mean, shan't list them as most of them aren't that good. But how about this one?
You get a guy / gal whose single, overweight, has considerable debts and maybe whose work life isn't that great. You then provide a panel of selected "experts" to go into his life, completely sort it out then go back six months later to see how he's fared! The selected icons would need to be good 'uns, I would suggest Sir Martin Lewis, Davina McCall, Gillian McKeith and Alan Sugar as possibles. It would sort of be "You Are What You Eat / Love On A Saturday Night / Dragons Den" topped off with a fine coating of "The Money Diet" on top.
I think this idea would work well as there are millions of people who are either single or overweight or debt ridden or whose work life is shabby. Yet there must be several thousand who are all four and not proud of it.
Any comments?

Shower instead of bathing? :rotfl:0

Isn't this just a variation on the Life Coach theme that's been about a while?
Good idea, though, any programme with Martin in is going to be worth watching.

There you go, I thought it was a good idea, even though now it appears someone who beat me to it.
I was thinking of calling it "You Are An Apprentice On A Diet, Eat On A Saturday Night".
However, I concede Martins title is somewhat catchier....
Like your other idea though, Martin.0
