Let’s Make A Baby

Mischief was an innovative and wildly ambitious series tackling topical and often serious issues by using humour combined with solid journalism and taking unique approaches to stories that are often only the preserve of more serious current affairs programming. In Let’s Make A Baby – one of the lighter episodes in the series – the idea was to test how far reality TV makers and contestants would be prepared to go.A proposterous, fake but almost believable idea was hatched and then presented, promoted and pitched to the world’s TV organizations. Auditions were held for willing contestants to take part in this most ethically grotesque reality TV format. Would anyone actually believe it was real? And worse, would anyone want to buy it and take part in it?
