How utterly morbid!

Thankfully, they specified that they will film it and then air a program about it at a later date. The headline makes it sounds as if it's some sort of sick new 24/7 reality program. I'd call it "DKTV" (say it slowly, you'll get it :) ) on "The Decomposition Channel."

I'll bet they get a volunteer. Some people will do anything to get on TV.

I would find it interesting from a medical background. I don't know how much help it will be if the corpse is inside a building. I saw a recent CSI that showed what they call the Bone yard. They have corpses scattered in a wooded area and examine the various decompositions of the bodies to learn more.

They have a place called the Body Farm too, where they study decomposing bodies in different places to help solve murders. :eek:

Most excellent novel about it too.

Patricia Cornwall wrote The Body Farm

DKTV? You should copyright that and sell it to the folks making this show.

Unfortunately, "DKTV" has already been used in London for "Different Kind of TeleVision," a learning channel for kids. Since this project also takes place in London, I'm not sure if they'd be allowed to re-use that name.

Glad ya like it though. :)
