Treatment for Do I really need.....My addiction

Each of the episodes in my series will have the opening credits in motion graphics, the names of people involved and other info in opening credits will come onto the screen and the text will create images i.e. a cigarette/lipstick.

Each of the episodes will run for around 30 minutes

The programme will start with a brief introduction from the voice over, he or she will have a comedic slant to amuse the audience but also to depict that this is not a show to judge and point the finger, but just to entertain and educate. The voice over will give a gist of the show to come. The addict will then be introduced and they will describe themselves and their addiction, they will then be followed in a documentary showing their highs and lows and the different obstacles they face. Throughout this documentary it will be broken up by different items .These items will be the history of the addiction in question, archival footage will play while the voice over explains the history. Vox pops depicting their views on the addiction, professionals discussing the benefits and drawbacks over the addiction, and visiting someone who bases their life/business around the addiction i.e. a club/pub depends on alcohol for them to survive.

To finish the show, the addict will come to some conclusion over their week of 'giving up' and will discuss how they have found the week and how this will affect them in the future. This will then be followed by a summary of the show from the voice over and will say next week’s programme. Then the motion graphics from the opening credits will play tying the programme together.

The audience will be addicts themselves or know somebody with an addiction, as well as this anybody with a particular interest to the content or style of show.

The aim of this series is to explore the origins of certain addictions and how they are in our society today, also to observe how people cope without their addictions.
