Who Wants To Be a Chocolate Eclair?

This is an extra little bonus on top of today's Japan blog (day 9). Whilst on our road trip today, it seemed like an opportune moment to do some brainstorming and come up a new, crazy Japanese game show. I based my idea on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. So, without further ado, let me introduce to you to my game show… Who Wants To Be a Chocolate Eclair?

The show is based upon the same format as the original - 15 questions to win - with just a few changes... 

Firstly, instead of 'fastest finger first', it's 'fastest sponge finger first' - the quickest contestant to eat a packet of sponge fingers gets to take his/her place in the hotseat.

Secondly, the three 'life lines' have changed:

Phone a Fiend: You have the opportunity to phone a fiend from a pre-selected list of well-known fiends. This list includes, but is not limited to, The Joker, Dracula, Hannibal Lector (useful for questions about wine), Skeletor and Dastardly & Mutley (I would advise not speaking to Mutley, or your 30 seconds will just end up being filled with his evil 'hehehehehehehehehehe'). Unlike the original 'phone a friend' option, fiends are unlikely to want to help you find the correct answer. A few of them will probably just want to know where you live and what blood type you are…

Ask The Asylum: This gives you the opportunity to survey the audience… which is made up of lunatics (there are plenty of those in Bexhill who are ready and waiting to be involved!) dressed in straight jackets. The audience participants have to push the button for the correct answer using their nose.

0/0/0: Instead of the regular 50/50, this time the computer takes away the right answer and leaves you to pick from the three remaining wrong ones.

For every correct answer that you make, you earn a share in Royal Mail. If you get all your questions right, you win a plate of cooked cow intestines. If you lose, which seems rather inevitable, you get covered in cream, wrapped in choux pastry and covered in chocolate. The asylum members then get released to "tuck in".

So, who wants to go first?
