Totally randomly on a non-paranormal forum I came across a newly posted thread where somebody said that they were assisting a TV production company research the possibility of making a new paranormal TV show in the UK. They were basically asking what other people's thoughts were and it was clear they were not looking to follow MH. They said they were looking for a 'new angle'.
Probably not allowed to post link to that particular forum, but it is interesting to note there's still plenty of interest in the subject. Wonder if anything will come of it? Has anyone heard of a potentially new show being researched? They ought to have asked on here ;D

Go on post link to the forum so we can have a look.
As for this paranormal tv show with a new angle, trust me it will start off all fine and dandy and end up like Most Haunted they all do

Good to see that Mediums are getting the thumbs down from the respondents on the linked website and that history seems to be very important. So why not do a history prog with the odd mention of ghosts?. As Amaris says, it will become a MH/TAPS clone although I suspect they will probably make an effort to appear more 'scientific' and less running around screaming than MH became. A show 'where not much happens' will soon get pulled as 'not much happening' equates to low audience figures so they'll be forced to either make something out of nothing or engineer something to happen - just like MH morganp

Lol. If they were smart they would ring me up and get me on board for the show.
Although I think they SHOULD have mediums on the show, otherwise it will be incredibly boring.
The problem with all programs like this is that ghosts dont exist, so i essence what will happen is a bunch of idiots will wonder about an old building in the dark with equipment that has no bearing on anything.
Paranormal groups are simply investigating empty old buildings, which is a completely pointless activity.
Have mediums on etc, but then show how useless they are and how it is all pointless.

I think you being on the show and having input into the format would certainly make it different and get beyond the woo. I'm not sure about having a medium though. He or she is going to just be a Dirk or David clone spouting google informed facts clothed as messages or sensings. I know what you mean about them filling in the quiet periods but the whole premise of a show that's out to find ghosts rests on the fact that there probably are no ghosts is going to give the producers a show where basically nothing happens - apart from the performances of the investimagators. I really cannot see how this programme can get away from the fact that nothing is going to happen. morganp
