Would you like to be on TV?

MORA have been contacted by Talitha from Wall to Wall Television (www.walltowall.co.uk) – one of the country’s leading independent television production companies. The company’s output includes Who Do You Think You Are? The Voice and The Gift for BBC One and Long Lost Family for ITV.

They are looking for a London-based family to take part in another Back In Time social history experiment for BBC Two, summer 2015. 

They have recently made a very popular BBC Two series called Back In Time For Dinner, in which a family ate their way through typical meals of the 1950s through to the 1990s. Following its huge success, they are looking for a family who, just like the Robshaws, will immerse themselves this time in the leisure and entertainment habits of decades past. They are looking for families with a minimum of two children aged 10+ who are available to film over the summer holidays of July and August 2015.  The family should have thoroughly modern leisure habits – turn to modern technology for entertainment and leisure time and enjoy weekend shopping and cinema trips. In the previous series we filmed at the family home and local businesses and amenities so it may be of interest to those who live in your area.

Any interested families should simply email leisure@walltowall.co.uk to express an interest.  There is no commitment to take part at the initial enquiry stage, but we are encouraging applications ASAP.
