This is a game taken from a favourite radio show of mine, Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive which is based on TV shows based purely on the names of the person who hosts them. For example, Victoria's Empire, in which Victoria Wood traveled to different countries which were once part of the British Empire.

The rules are simple. You have to try and come up with as many different TV, radio, book, film or play titles based purely on the name of the person hosting or writing it, and explain what the show would entail. The less you have to the change the name of the person, the better. Here are some examples from the show to get everyone going:

* Harry's Enfield - Harry Enfield takes a look at Enfield, London.
