Word suggests that economist-turned-TD-turned-biggest-disappointment-this-side-of-the -last-U2-record, Lil' George Lee is prepping for that eagerly-anticipated RTE comeback. We can exclusively present several of the exciting TV concepts being bandied about Donnybrook way for Georgie Boy. As per current RTE commissioning policy, they came up with the titles first – the rest will take care of itself:
Born Lee: George takes to the open road, helping people in need to balance their finances, before zooming off into the distance on his Segway as the soundtrack blasts the closing theme from the old Incredible Hulk TV show.
George Of The Jungle: In this exciting docu-soap, Herr Lee takes an exciting position in Cork's Fota Wildlife Park. Drama arises, however, when George realises that he hasn't actually been given the head zookeeper position he's been promised by the management at Fota, and is instead expected to shovel shite with all the other plebs.
Curious George: The indomitable Mr Lee tries out a variety of different jobs for size: shop assistant, pole dancer, elected representative for the Dublin South constituency, manager of the Irish football squad. Each episode culminates in George dramatically storming off the job, sulking, while claiming that he has "virtually no input or influence" over the task in hand.
Lee/Bird: here's one for all you Lynyrd Skynyrd fans out there. George teams up with fellow RTE refugee Charlie Bird for this exciting new travel show; where our dynamic duo set off on a dynamic, life-changing, globe-trotting adventure – before deciding otherwise and going for a lovely long lunch in the RTE canteen instead.
