Are you a Fun, Outgoing Family?

Or have you ever wanted to experience a different way of living?
If you are up for a Fun Family Challenge, a Channel 4 documentary series would love to hear from you.

We are making an observational documentary series for Channel 4 that looks at family life in the UK, celebrating different lifestyles in modern Britain.  The documentary is primarily about people learning from the way others lead their lives.  It's an opportunity for families to open their doors and share their culture, way of life and family values.   

We are very keen to feature a country-living family as part of our out-reach; perhaps who can show what it’s like to maintain a large estate and grounds or give viewers a taste of life on a farm.  Or perhaps a family who can show the reality and rewards of village life.  This would be a wonderful opportunity to reach city-dwelling viewers and open their eyes to the perks as well as the hard work of country life!

We are keen to reflect the different communities and groups of modern Britain, but ultimately it is about the universal themes and challenges of family life and how people deal with them.  The format often enables people a greater insight and understanding into how others lead their lives, as well as affect a positive change in their own.  It is this aspirational quality that is a key focus in producing the programme.

It would be fantastic if we could reach families through your website – would you be happy to display the call-out below on your site, or if you have an online forum I could possibly post the below on?  Or perhaps you would be so kind as to include the below in your next news letter – or any other advice or contacts you could offer on how to reach families in your area would be greatly appreciated!

I hope we can find some great families that live in the Churchill and Blakedown area through yourselves.
