Direction Unit: Research

I have been thinking a lot into what drama television program I am going to use for my 3 minute shoot. Although many ideas came into my head about certain dramas i have watched previously, I have decided to settle on the American drama series, Desperate Housewives.
It is based around the seemingly beautiful, rich, wealthy and perfect neighborhood of Wisteria Lane. it follows the lives of 5 main female characters and the story of their lives is told through the eyes of their dead neighbor. It premiered on October 4th 2004. 

Because the whole idea of this project is to put your own twist on a program of your choice I came up with an idea to take this program from its glossy, glamourous setting and transferring it to a run down council estate. This would mean that i would keep all of the same dialogue but just changing the setting and characters to almost the complete opposite of what they are in the original scene.

I have been doing research into the Desperate Housewives series that have been aired and found that the scenes which portray the show the best are the ones of the main characters sitting around in one of their luxurious stately homes enjoying high priced wine/champagne, expensive foods and a bitchy gossip. I am hoping that very soon i will have narrowed my scene down to the one i think is the best for this unit. I am looking for a scene which can still be translated into a complete opposite of what it originally was but with still being able to understand which drama it was originally.
