I have decided to go further into my gameshow idea. I have looked at timeless television shows and what their hook is to gain interest from the public.
One main element that popped up more than once that caught my interest was the inclusion of sport in a game show. Popular game shows aired in Britain such as 'Breaking Point', 'Bullseye' and 'Question of Sport' all incorporated sports into their shows. I have looked into popular sports that I can mould into a game show, but have tried to find some originality within it. So I have stayed away from popular sports such as football as they may come across as predictable or too basic.
The sport I have decided to focus on is poker. Poker may not be so much an athletic vigorous sport, but it has a lot to with intellect and mind games, which is an element that a lot of gameshows entail. I am going to look focus on the mental games played in poker and try to create a television appropriate game around it.
