Reading a couple of things on here recently, and thinking about this and that, it occured to me - would it be possible for producers to recreate a messy tv show as a video?

Obviously it'd have to be cut down - with the best will in the world, I doubt anybody here lives in a stately home expensively done up to resemble Crinkly Bottom - but which would be the preferred and most practical options?

(At the very least it would be interesting to hear what shows producers admired and would copy if they thought it were practical and would draw a big enough viewership. I wonder if some people might go for obscurer options than your GYOBs and Tiswases and the like?)
