And can you think of variations on that theme that would work well (especially comically, or as an excitingly novel concept)?

I am thinking of things like the BBC's Just a Minute, a long-running radio programme in which contestants have to talk for a whole minute on a random subject without hesitation (stumbling, saying 'um' or 'er'), repetition (repeating any words), or deviation (deviating from that subject).

What about party games that might transfer to radio quite well (charades, word games)?

I'm trying to devise a game show for a radio script I'm writing. The format of the show is not integral to the script (which is more about the presenter) but it's integral in that it has to be entertaining for an audience, and preferably not a direct copy of something that already exists.

Because it's a fictional game show it can be a bit ludicrous or unlikely but preferably something that is actually playable (so I can script it or even record a session with genuine contestants).

Thanks,

David

P.S. I'm aware of Sorry, I haven't a Clue, which parodies various shows of that type. Unfortunately I'm not really familiar with it, and it's not running at the moment. I will see if I can find some old episodes.
