I can see the benefit of such a programme and how it would make interesting viewing, however:
Any prospective employer will be interested in many aspects of a candidates character; managerial expertise, leadership, organisation skills to name but a few. Financial (in)competance could be assessed alongside managerial competetance and many other attributes.
A person appearing on a national TV programme will expose themselves in advance to all HR managers who may be watching. I would be reluctant to tell a future employer how much I had let myself slide into the red.
Anybody thinking of taking part - think very carefully because once it has been made you can not go back!
