Thread: BBC Dcoumentary. British Holiday

ARE YOU GOING ON HOLIDAY IN BRITAIN THIS YEAR?


Then we’d love to speak with you!


BBC2 is making a 60-minute documentary about British families going on holiday in the UK this summer. Over the last year, the number of British families holidaying in the UK has risen by seven million. We feel a film about this growing trend will give us a wonderful, warm and engaging glimpse into our country in 2010 – and we hope that taking part in the making of the documentary will be a lot of fun.

We would film you embarking on and returning from your holiday – but we would not ruin your hols by filming you while you’re away!

Instead, we would show your children how to use small digital cameras, for them to keep a video diary of their holidays. We would then aim to include some of their work in the completed programme on BBC2.

If you would like to find out more, please do get in touch with assistant producer Marco Crivellari in BBC Documentaries

As with any of these so-called fly-on-the-wall documentaries the editing determines how your family will look to the viewers, and what makes 'good television' is decided on by the direction and production staff based on which slant they think will produce the best viewing figures.
The difference between this and other programmes of the genre is that here you have the opportunity to edit the footage yourself, possibly by dropping the camera over a cliff or into the sea.

Take part in Mr Crivellari's programme if you will, but I for one would advise caution.

Chance would be a fine thing ... what's a holiday?

Marco - tis always better to come via moi before posting on the forum. Tis what the media ops section is for. I have posted across all three site.

Holiday in the UK?
Yes, come along and film me trying to look like i'm having a good time in the holiday camps bar while all the old folk are playing bingo and i'm heckling the 'star entertainer' and snarling at other peoples kids before sliding off my chair to sleep it off under the table.
The the next morning, you can film me trudging along to the beach, where i can sleep my hangover off in between scoffing sand sarnies and drinking luke warm orange, while wondering how many kids i can drown in the sea.
This will be repeated over the whole 7 days, culminating in me having a major showdown with the holiday camp manager while strangling the receptionist. ( as i have murdered all the kids, the old people and the 'star entertainer' )
