BRAND NEW game show idea - if there are any Producers out there itching for an idea?

I have thought of a new game show type challenge called 'who can gather Dominik's wish list for Mozambique...in 2 days and fit it in your luggage while also packing your pants and anti malaria pills?'
It requires a variety of skills and hurdles to navigate. Can you decipher his messages, interpret his instructions, locate and travel to shops (given that you have a full life of other stuff to do), pay with very limited funds and so on.
The list began to arrive a week ago and was large but manageable:
·         Ranger boots size 42,43,44
·         Army long sleeves shirts (German or Austrian)
·         Belts
·         British army trousers (NB not quantity given)
·         Then photos of qualified rangers 
·         Copy of 14 certificates in colour (very lengthy to download all from multiple sources)
·         Level 1 nicotine patches
·         Computer cable (he forgot)
I added to this, a present for Adamo who surprisingly turned up for the Ranger training.  His daughter, my names sake, died a few years ago and soon after he did a bunk from Mareja with a set of fine German china... having been best longest serving member of community, from a child.
Other requests that came in yesterday, old fashioned hanging scales, glasses lots +2.5/3.
Then today with only weekend to go until Lenny aged 17 and johnny aged 19 leave for Moz....
·         Wick for oil lamp (accompanied by picture of his hand and existing wick, but sadly don't know his hand measurements, though they are 'large')
·         Inverter 12v - 240 v for computer x 2
·        Plumbing, taps inside and out, and valves illustrated with another mysterious pictures and a voice message saying could be 1/2" or 3/4" not sure.
I got it all and  a bag to fit it in. It was squeezed into Lenny and Johnny's packing, which included a service station meet up as J headed to Heathrow. Challenge met but sadly no spotlight or prize presented.... yet?
