Up the Parish: realty shows now become truly all-invasive



And just to show that nothing, but nothing> is safe from reality shows:
Channel 4 will screen a new series which aims to boost a congregation in a parish with poor church attendance. With the working title Priest Idol, the show will give a vicar 12 months to boost the church's turnout.

Unfortunately we probably won't see hide nor hair of this in the States, but maybe we can catch EWTN's upcoming reality TV show, Pope for a Week.

My pitch to the network: a reality show centering around the Archbishop of Canterbury's wacky attempts to prevent schism.
