Hi there,



I hope you don’t mind me contacting you – I’m looking for British fishermen to take part in a new BBC1 TV show.



We’re making a brand new, prime time, Saturday night BBC1 entertainment show which takes a light and comical look at life in Britain. We are searching for people to contribute their stories about their lives in Britain to the programme.



The show is being hosted by comedian John Bishop, and filming begins very soon. We are going to travel the length and breadth of the country to meet people from all walks of life, and film them in their own environments – whether they’re lifeguards, shop assistants, zoo keepers or police officers. We are looking for people to tell us about their lives – their work lives, being a parent, marriage, school days, awful family holidays, playing a sport… all areas that most people in the UK can relate to.



We are very keen to find fishermen or anglers to take part. We’d come to interview them about funny and heart warming stories from their lives, and film the interview at their venue.



I wondered whether it would be possible for you to circulate this message to members of your association? If anyone is interested in the show they could fill in the attached form and email it back OR they could give me a call on 0207 202 2354 and I’ll fill them in on all the details.


Many thanks indeed and look forward to hearing from you!



Best wishes,

Charlie

So sweet of you, David, but then as I don't own a television and take a pride in only watching Doctor Who on somebody elses...

Speaking of funny fishing stories, anyone got any ? I'll start it off.

Once upon a time, many moons ago, i went night fishing with a mate to Sefton Park lake in Liverpool. I'd been playing football the previous day and strained a leg muscle, so i'd brought a ralgex stick with me to ease the pain. During the night the temp plummeted to 0 degrees. Being young and stupid at the time, i hadn't brought enough clobber to keep warm. EURIKA, i'll go in the cave behind us and cover myself in Ralgex, that'll do the trick. I covered every inch of my body ( yes every inch ). I'd also brought the drinks bottle off my racing bike with me filled with orange juice. 10 minutes later, my trousers were round my ankles and the juice was being squirted over my knackers. I was crying with the pain, my skin felt like it was starting to blister. The juice wasn't working, only one thing for it. For the second time in 15 minutes i was naked and sitting in a freezing cold lake. There was steam coming off the water as i went in, but boy oh boy, what a relief. Moral of the story. Get the best set of thermals you can afford.
