Let's Make a Baby.

Series of films that take a witty and mischievous approach to serious issues. Danny Robins sets out to discover just how far reality TV will go. Armed with a totally outrageous and morally bankrupt idea, Danny sets up a fake company and tries to sell his fake idea 'Let's Make A Baby' to the world. His journey takes him from the bizarre world of cable TV and promo shoots with ex-Big Brother stars Craig and Makosi, via a Slovakian reality TV contestant with a small dog, to the centre of the TV universe at Cannes where he pitches his big idea to the world's television producers.

Big Brother loser Makosi thought she had landed her dream presenting job - only to find out the whole thing was a set up.

The former nurse was part of prank set up for a new documentary testing the boundaries of reality TV by trying to get complete strangers to make a baby together.

Hundreds of telly hopefuls applied for what they believed was a reality show called 'Let's Make a Baby' - in which they would conceive a baby with a stranger live on air for a £10,000 prize.

Contestants were to live in a Love Hotel, with the least attractive being voted off each week but it was all a hoax in the name of comedy.

Makosi and fellow Big Brother housemate Craig Coates were lined up to front the show and told the viewers would vote for which couples they wanted to have sex.

Over 200 gullible fame seekers proved just how desperate some people are to be on television by queuing for hours to be involved with the show.
