Urgent! £100 for using your family house as a TV set

Update 15.40: This has now been filled. Thanks very much to everyone who replied! :)

Hiya

Channel 5 is looking for a family to allow them to film in their house to use as a sort of production device to illustrate the changes in interest rates (for example, using the stairs to have a graphic saying interest rates will fall.) The filming would be tomorrow at any time in the morning or afternoon.

Apparently it wouldn’t be for too long and you get £100 for your time.

If you can help out, please private message me with your phone number and a few details about the house, family, where you are based etc. Thanks!

    I've got no reason to be suspicious - Jenny is an official of the site, and TV studios do need these things (as much as they sometimes need people). I fully believe it is genuine.

    Just told my mum as her house is pretty interesting but couldn't persuade her.

    Thanks for the info though Jenny. Hope you find what you're after.

    The name 'MSE Jenny' surely gives a clue to the posts validity.

    sadly my stairs are not as steep as interest rates.
