Filming opportunity with BBC countryside programme

Would you like to be green, but money worries are stopping you? Did you try organic but now need to shop cheaply? Does chicken welfare upset you, but your wallet takes precedence?
BBC Countryfile is making a short item about how the credit crunch is impacting on ethical living. They would like to go shopping with someone who can talk them through the decisions they make as a consumer; looking at whether saving money is now much important than living ethically. Perhaps you used to get a box scheme, but have found it's cheaper and much the same to shop at the market? Or perhaps you were won over by eco cleaning products, but have now gone back to cheap bleach? Whatever your concerns and money trade-offs, they would like to show it.
This would require three hours filming time on either 9th or 10th June. They are filming in Bristol or London, so ideally, you'd need to be based around those areas. They would arrange the shop, and it would merely be up to you to talk them through your money worries!
