Many popular U.S. TV reality shows got started in Europe. Here’s one reality show, based in the workplace, that we hope doesn’t make the trip across the Atlantic.

The British show, still in development, is called Naked Office.

Yep, it’s your worst fear: The show asks employees to show up for work nude for one day.

The hunt for companies willing to participate is still going on (we can only hope they won’t find enough takers).

Office employees (gee, nothing in manufacturing or retail?) will be interviewed to gauge their thoughts about nudity (at home, OK; at the office, NO WAY).

Then, some employees will participate in art classes with unclothed models to help them get used to public nudity.

The last step in the BBC show: Employees participate in a “Naked Friday.”

The purpose of the program is to analyze attitudes toward nudity including the role of clothing in office hierarchy.

The show’s producers promise the day wold be “very productive … as well as a day to remember.” (Yeah, we’d be a lot less likely to leave our cubicles.)
