SUBJECT: Mexico

Gentlemen,

I am exclusively inviting you and your teams to tender for a new Mexico Season I am thinking about for January08 (when it is really grey and depressing and people need to be cheered up).

Obviously I want to keep the season light, shouty, revelatory and sunny - so no 'peasants dying' films please.

Although I am keen to explore the prism of Mexican cultural life, I would prefer ideas that still reflected contemporary young Britain. Think "Me & You TV" for the U-21 generation.

The deadline is 1st October.

Look forward to reading your insatiable ideas,

TVC

I would like to see a new version of this, set in Cancun.

I don't have an idea per se, but going by the rest of the schedule I thought I'd mix together a bit of what C4 was doing last year, with a load of what Discovery USA was doing two years ago.

That seems to be the trick to geting on air.

Long live originality!
