Children's TV Fun House set to return to determine who is made a Lord

1990s children's TV show Fun House hosted by Pat Sharp is set to make a come back with the top prize being made a Lord.

The show was a regular hit with youngsters of ages ranging from 5 until their early teens but it is thought the revamp will be aimed towards adults.

Ideas about how the show is structured are thought to include who can waste the most amount of money in a spending spree with the larger heavier items costing more.  Each contestant is given a fictional amount of someone else's money and they have to come up with increasingly creative ways to waste that amount.

There are also suggestions that the contestants would have to take part in make believe scenarios like starting wars in various countries and whoever can create the most refugees will win the points.  

Other scenarios are thought to include thinking up creative ways to reduce national spending by killing off disabled people unable to work and how to change an edgy liberal political party go from being popular into a down trodden party that no-one would ever vote for.  Whoever can get the lowest number of votes will make it into the "Fun House". 

TV producer Andrew Gibson said "I feel this is a great idea, the contestants will compete over a five year period and then when it's done the winners will be announced.

Speaking from his office at Ivory Tower House, Gibson went on "Thankfully it's only a bit of a laugh and thankfully not based on real life events.  We tried to come up with ideas that are potentially possible so could be realistic but fortunately nothing too bad and something that we can all have a good laugh at.
