Open Space on television?

[Seamus McInerney]

Hi Joelle,
I think it would work very well. Just look at the popularity of 'fly on the wall' programmes lately. There is even one on BBC that invites people to dinner and listens in on the conversations that develop. A two day OS with a suitable subject could be edited to make an interesting programme. They could even do a follow up to see what had happened after a few months.

Mind you the attraction to TV land is the conflicts that arise, not the sources of agreement.
