    Martin's being very modest - he failed to mention his new ITV show - 'Make Me Rich'!

    For anyone interested in this court programme, Carol Smiley is on This Morning today at 10.30am, presumably to talk about it.

    Martin's not being that modest. While this show is in the ITV pipeline it is not yet commissioned! Fingers crossed - but not yet - and i've been here before so i simply don't know.

    Is it possible to make a person on a really low income rich?

    Here is a brillant and original idea.

    How about lets have a general election and vote for who is going to be in power for the next 4/5 years.

    Do it as a phone in on ITV and it might just work. People may actually vote.

    As I heard on radio 5 live this week that in propotion more people voted to get someone out the jungle than would vote in a general election.

    Which I find very sad. That people are more interested in voting off a z list celeb off an island than voting for something important. Like who is going to run the country for the next 4 years.

    Yours

    Calley

    Know what you mean, calleyw. A friend of mine who is normally quite sensible, told me that he is not going to vote in the election because he doesn't like any of them.
    It really says a lot for this Country when , as you say, people vote on some irrelevant TV programme and ignore something as important as who will be governing the Country.
