Studio Production: Initial Ideas + Lab Feedback

I have thought about a few different ideas for the show, settling on the idea of a game/quiz show. I decided that I wanted the target audience to be families, as I think that this would give me capability to explore different options without having to limit it too much. I have thought about having two panels, which is something that is seen regularly on quiz shows. I like the idea of having the contestants having a strict time limit, of which they will have to complete a task or answer questions in the time to win the point. This is seen in shows like 'Countdown', where there is huge emphasis on time. We pitched some of our initial ideas for the unit as part of an idea lab. This was an opportunity for us to see where everyone else is with the development of their ideas and assist each other to expand on these further. The general consensus of this was that most people had chosen to look into game shows. I think this is because it is difficult to undertake other options such as comedy panel shows and dating shows as there is a lot of emphasis on the talent being entertaining rather than there being good existing content without the contributors.
In order to make my idea for the show more dynamic, I thought about the contestants having to complete tasks within the time frame rather than answering questions. I think that this will look more visually stimulating, and will suit the target audience as it should have an energy to it that would be difficult to achieve with a generic quiz show. This would also add an element of comedy to the show in a natural, unforced way which would appeal to audiences.
Helen gave me some advice in the lab feedback to develop on the idea of the clock and a pressured time frame, looking at other shows that use this strategy and making this the basis of the show. I think that the idea as it is is very simple and needs development to expand on and give it more depth.
