My own Series - Make Me Rich

B4UgoZzz

Having taken a quick glance around the https://www.itv.com/money website which is plugged throughout the new TV show, I seems there is no reference to our (https://www.moneysavingexpert.com) website.

I suspect this is ITV again, as with This Morning and other shows which Martin appears on, preventing him from referring it. Personally I think this is outrageous since MSE is not a profit driven site and as we all know, offers such a brilliant resource to users. I remember the This Morning TV show wouldn't let Martin refer to the free MSE site and then would sit and promote the music, fashion and publishing industry's latest products for hours on end from their comfy chairs! Outrageous I felt.

If I'm right about reluctance from ITV then I just wondered what we, the MSE members might be able to do to 'rattle a few cages' to change this. It seems fairly clear to me that anyone watching the new TV show and visiting the ITV website would be best helped by heading over to Martin's own site here.

I cannot help wondering if ITV is simply dismissing MSE in favour of commercial profit making opportunities from other links on it's web pages. For this I think ITV should hear the sound of our combined disapproval.

Anyone think we should blast ITV with email and phone complaints about the lack of publicity for https://www.moneysavingexpert.com ?

UPDATE:
Brilliant, the ITV site now plugs https://www.moneysavingexpert.com very well indeed.
Great! Glad it's been changed. :-)

How much plugging do you expect them to have?

Just had a look myself as when I looked there nothing was coming up. I like the way that each programme has been broken down to say what's what with the savings, how they went about making them etc.

Just out of interest.. was anyone picked for the series already members of this forum?
I remember Martin posting the info and I was tempted to apply, but I think my problems pale into insignificance after watching some of the families!!

Excellent show, Martin! Really enjoyed it (watched for first time yesterday, and wished I'd seen it from the beginning)!

Just wondering if there will be another series of Make me Rich coming out soon? Or what about repeats of the first one again?

I was just thinking the same thing. It was on during the Christmas break last year and that was when I first found out about this site - would love to see a new series, but I think Martin would have flagged that up by now if it was happening. Repeats would be a good idea though - lots of people think about it (their money/budget/debts/savings etc) at this time of the year - resolutions etc.
