Please advise - it's all gone SO wrong

never-in-doubt

emailing what? Info to the production company?

Surely instead of sending a million and one emails, we just approach them and haggle the whole thing - easy peasy, no?

Depends what and why you're emailing of course, if it is the S.K details I gave then I think a quiet phone call to him would be in order before spamming his email inbox lol.... just my advice but hey ho!

How many people involved in haggling?! They're besieged by worthy and unworthy cases daily who want their homes put back together. They are making a programme and must have an emotional angle. It's just a business to them.

I don't think anyone would get through to the producer by phone. It also might put him on guard and you'd get 5 seconds to interest him. We seem to have his private email address. I'm thinking... I send a suitable request to be featured, and then two days later he gets an inbox of people saying - Choose Mike! and giving some reason why. It's all about sticking out from the crowd...

Why don't you refer him here in the first instance and let him know how many people are willing to/standing by to email him... but you thought that might be slightly inconvenient for him, so it's up to him how he wants to play it?

Might need to read back through and refer him to a few choice posts, but I think the amount of pages and views in itself would prove there's more than a little passing interest!

And lets get those views up to 100 000 before you do that too

Are the page views are unique visitors, or does it count repeat visits as well?> I don't think 100,000 people have viewed this thread - maybe 1,000 have visted 100 times each lol.....

Mike is this for the same info I passed on to southernBELLE? If so then you may get a better response being you're omitting the beeb from everything and going straight to the production team - my reasons for passing that info was because I would have thought, they may make a programme about you and then commission it to a network.

The only way to get on the show in question is via the beeb, as they commission the show.

You know all this though right?

I'm off to work (again!) and haven't time to catch up - happy to lend a hand with emailing when the time comes though.
Hoping to get reading time tomorrow!

I understand that the production company wins the contract to do 6 programmes, say. The BBC's not interested in who's on it - they just want the programme. The producer says who's in or out. No

Awww, Don't worry Happy, I live life in a constant state of confusion! :rotfl:

Once Mike's made the decision, I'll check with poo and she'll explain everthing for me!

Mike...I'm sure the letter you're composing will be brilliant, you've never had a problem with putting your point across, your story speaks for itself.:)
.
Agree with niccatw, this thread is full of all the highs and lows but your first letter is what gripped us all.

Just really pleased that we're now looking at getting your house done & your living conditions improved! :T
