Shameless movie/tv spin offs

Ferris Bueller's Dine off

Matthew Broderick hosts this eclectic cooking show, in which members of the public take turns to host a dinner party to see who can cook the best meal. Broderick ends the show each week with the phrase "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and cook around once in a while, you could miss it."

Sherlock's Homes

Benedict Cumberbatch tours the country trying to find the right couple to buy his pick of the best houses on the market. Each episode begins with Cumberbatch taking one look at the house then staring straight at the camera and reciting every tiny detail about it in a dead-pan voice, then following the couples around while clearly being bored by the triviality of it all and making personal comments about them.

Jurassic Spark

Top Gear's Richard Hammond (as Jurassic Park's John Hammond) hosts this dating show set on a tropical island. Each week contestants must try to find love in increasingly complex dating scenarios, often involving perilous situations with dinosaurs. (Note to producers - will need to wait a few years for Top Gear's Richard Hammond to age in order to convincingly portray John Hammond from Jurassic Park. Also need dinosaurs).

Top Gnu

Tom Cruise inexplicably hosts this African safari show where contestants bet on the likely survival of various members of a herd of wildebeest migrating across the Serengeti, with a naval theme. Cruise does his best to insert the 'need for speed' catchphrase at every opportunity, particularly when the wildebeest are being chased by lions.

Big Trouble in Little Chimney

Kurt Russell follows a group of demolition experts around the world as they deal with increasingly problematic demolitions of industrial chimneys. The show's hook is that each week the experts are led to believe that the chimney they will demolish is really small, but it actually turns out to be really big.

The Bourbon Identity

Matt Damon hosts this cooking show focussing on biscuits and sweets. Each week Damon jokes with the contestants about not remembering anything from the previous show.

Blade Ruiner

Harrison Ford tackles knife crime.
