Dear Gracie,

My name is Ellie Rennie and I work for a TV production company based in Bristol called Plimsoll Productions.

We are currently on the hunt for lovely, lively families to be part of an exciting new style of television series for BBC2, documenting family life across Britain in 2015.

The series, entitled You Should See My Family, will capture everyday routines, occasional dramas, frequent humour and, most important of all, the warmth and togetherness of family life.

Using the latest technology, we’re also able to put the participating families in control; allowing them the opportunity to capture their family, pets, and special moments together.

This is a really uplifting and entertaining project to be involved in, so please do let me know if you can think of any individuals, or ideally whole families, with big personalities who might be suitable. We’re keen to hear from a range of different families from across the country, who help to represent the diverse nature of modern family life in the UK.

We would be very grateful if you would be able to assist us in putting the word out. I was wondering if you would consider placing something on your website, including our search in your newsletter or blog, or even giving us a mention on twitter or Facebook.

In order to apply to take part, there is a short online questionnaire – please do feel free to share this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/youshouldseemyfamily

If you would like any further information about the programme, or have any questions, then please do not hesitate to get in touch. Alternatively, you can find further information about the programme on our page on Facebook, or learn more about Plimsoll Productions here.

Or contact me at familylife@plimsollproductions.com

Very best wishes,

Ellie

Looks like a fun project :-)
