Home Businesses

We are making a pilot for a new TV series for Channel 4 called Home Businesses which looks at how businesses are run from home around the UK. We are currently in the process of casting for the pilot and we are looking for really innovative businesses that represent the entrepreneurial spirit of the Brits.

The more diversity the better and we are looking for people from all walks of life. Ideally we are looking for someone who is not running an IT or software company, somebody who is doing something quite visual and that is mainly based in the home. As ever we want great characters who have an interesting story behind their business.

Please call Coco on 020 7534 2017 between 10am to 6pm

Are you struggling with weight loss?

Endemol UL are producing a new and exciting 6 part series! Each episode features a household - families and households i.e professional sharers or students - which we aim to help to shed the excess pounds. We are looking for people who can't understand why they seem to be gaining weight or why they can't lose it. Using the latest research our specialists will help people lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way.

Our aim is to educate the audience by producing a series which explores the science behind weight gain and how to live a healthy life style. As you can see this is an amazing show which aims to help people, but our biggest challenge is getting the word out there so people can make the decision whether or not to apply.

Third series of Dinner Date

As the only gay in the office, it's my job to find guys to take part in the third series of Dinner Date for ITV1 which was a big hit over the summer. Dinner Date is a really fun, dating and cooking show where a single person goes on three dates with three different people and is cooked a three course meal by each of them. The great thing about this show is that you don't have to be a good cook to take part!

We have two gay episodes coming up after the New Year, one in Manchester and one in London, so wanting to cast for guys soon.

If you would like to find out more please email your name, age, location and telephone number to: dinnerdate@hattrick.com - Or call 020 7184 6742

Channel 4 documentary series about love and relationships are seeking LGBT contributors

The Garden Productions is an independent production company founded last year by the team who made the BAFTA award-winning series One Born Every Minute, and more recently, 24 Hours in A&E on Channel 4.

They intend to take an "intelligent and sensitive" look at relationships across lifetimes and generations - "from the first kiss to the final farewell and everything else in between," says producer Emma Tutty.

The documentary makers are looking to talk to people from all walks of life, and are passionate about representing gay and lesbian viewpoints. One of the films in the series will tell the stories of people who are coming to terms with their sexuality later in life.

The documentary makers are particularly keen to talk to same-sex couples planning to have a civil partnership between November 2011 and April 2012.

"Perhaps one or both partners came to terms with their sexuality later in life. Maybe they were previously married to someone of the opposite sex, and perhaps they have teenage or grown-up children from their marriage," adds Tutty.

If anyone is interested to find out more or to have a confidential research chat, they can email Becky at becky.lomax@thegardenproductions.tv or call 020 3465 9060.

Anyone enquiring will be under no obligation to appear in the programme.

People with big personalities who are quirky, funny or unique.

Objective Productions are developing a brand new show for Channel 4 and looking for people to take part.

We're hoping to cast a diverse range of characters from all walks of life and from different backgrounds to represent the British public. The show is going to be light-hearted, funny and will revolve around a group of real characters sharing their opinions and going about their day to day lives. What we are really hoping to find are people with big personalities who are quirky, funny or unique.

This may or may not be you, but maybe you have a funny Nan who doesn't know the difference between an iPhone and a calculator, or your daughter is the real Vikki Pollard? Maybe your uncle is a transsexual or your neighbour is a hilarious Cabbie.

Our brief is truly open, we're interested in meeting funny people from all walks of life, some of which wont even realise they're funny!

The Devil's Dinner Party

New ITV Series for Sky Atlantic seek LGBT guests:

Our six guests meet for the first time over champagne and nibbles; they have little time to get to know each other. Based on their first impressions, each guest must vote for who they wish to remove from the guest-list before dinner has even started. Only five guests will move through to the dining-room.

Over dinner, our guests must each answer a personal question about themselves, or their fellow guests - keeping in mind they have just met. Their fellow diners must then use their intuition to predict their answer - and if the group predicts correctly, a thousand pounds goes into the pot. The group can win up to six thousand pounds over the course of the evening.

But only one guest will walk away with the winnings - and that's the guest voted the Devil's favourite guest at the end of the night!

Gok's Teens: The Naked Truth

features a young gay guy from Sheffield. Part of his journey is that he is taken to London to meet inspirational gay people from different industries – to show anyone can be gay no matter who you are and what you do.

We want to 'widen' that piece out slightly by including several still images of openly gay people from even more vocational backgrounds. If you happen to know any other gay people with jobs that can be easily identified by what they wear (or where they work), please feel free to put their names forward to me. We are hoping to include people like

- A vicar
- A doctor
- A soldier
- A post man
- A policeman
- A taxi driver
- A lawyer
- A fireman
- A builder
