Spotted this in a tv guide from the 28th June 2008 (We Love Telly - back page).

Want to earn some ca$h?

If you've spotted any blunders, gaffes or cringeworthy !!!!-ups while enjoying your favourite TV shows, please email the BBC's Outtake TV team at: outtaketv@bbc.co.uk

I tried checking their website but couldn't find any further details. I've sent them an e-mail with a blunder and am waiting for a reply.

I will update this post if/when I get they contact me.

Thought it might be useful to fellow MSE'ers.

P.S. I've just noticed one of the words has been censored on this thread.
I hope no-one thinks it is a swear word. I've simply copied the original advert word for word. My apologies

Hehe think I can guess what word it is
Ooh let us kno if u get a reply!!

Am I being thick here, but I can't see the "up your income" part of this?

mdeebee - it seems they are paying cash for ones you find (probably if they feature them and they haven't been found already). The first sentence of the ad would imply that anyway.

Had an email back from them yesterday:

"Many thanks for getting in touch with us regarding this. We will
certainly look into this and let you know how it develops.
Meanwhile please keep us posted of any other clips you see which you
think might be suitable it's greatly appreciated.

Best wishes"

No mention of how much I would get IF my suggestion is used. I will keep you all posted.

I sent one in yesterday and got a reply saying they can't easily access the programme I mentioned (though it is a BBC programme). Anyway I sent another suggestion but haven't heard anything.

I didn't see the original advert - did they specify it has to be BBC programmes only or just anything?

Hi

It didn't say - the original advert was exactly as I mentioned previously:
