New TV Programme

Hi all
My name is Helen and I work as a researcher for a Television company called Initial, we are part of the Endemol group of companies.
Initial is one of the leading entertainment content creators and producers in the UK recent credits include Socer AID
(ITV1; ITV2); Only Fools On Horses(BBC ONE); Safari School (BBC Two); Cirque du Soleil; Emu(CITV1); The Match (Sky One);Bel's Boy's (CITV1); UK Music Hall of Fame(Channel 4) and Orange Playlist (ITV1: VH1; TMF).
INITIAL is also behind The Games
(Channel 4); Run for Glory(BBC ONE);


The reason for the post is we are creating and producing a new programme for channnel 4 this programme will be called "FANS FORUM"


The premise of the programme is that it is based on the Coca-Cola League and League 1 (no premiership clubs are involved) the programme will be an hour in length and go out weekly, and is based on Internet forums, hence my post here.


Each club selected will have a panel of 3 fans who will discuss that week’s games and general football topics with other teams fans and invited guests.


We have divided the clubs we wish to take part into 5 areas. Preston will be in NorthWest area. The programmes will start in the first week of January and run up untill the Play off Final each area will be featured every 5 weeks so we anticipate approx 4 appearances for Preston.


The NorthWest area consists of Burnley. Blackpool, Preston, Tranmere, Crewe, Carlisle, Stoke and PortVale,


So I am looking for 3 regular Preston Fans, Male or Female ideally those selected will be one each from the 18 –30 age range 30-45 and 45 and over. We are looking for preople who are articulate and have a bit of character most important have a good general knowledge of football in general, as the topics discussed will not always be based on English football.


It goes without saying we don’t want these discussions to lapse in to slanging matches so if you are inclined to lose your temper please don’t apply.


The programmes will be recorded the day before transmission and all the Northwest programmes will come from the National Football Museum.


So if you want to represent your club on National TV please drop me a line. You can reply either on this thread, ( if that’s ok with admin) by pvt message or e mail. All I require is a quick message stating your age and sex, and that your interested, how long you have followed Preston and if possible an interesting or funny story of you following Preston that can be added when introducing yourself.


The same 3 people will hopefully be used for all the programmes so if you be better if you have no holidays booked between now and the end of the season. Also the recording will take place between 7pm onwards on an evening, again anyone who works evening or nights may find it hard as the recording will be finished when its finished, and may run late.

Many thanks Helen

sorry for such a long post

Re: New TV Programme

I'd rather have a live hand grenade rammed up my jacksie than do freebie work for the parasitic scourge on the British television industry that is Endemol.

Still, you should find many on here who would adore the opportunity to draw attention to themselves. Try one of the mods, maybe. 😉

Its probably only got an half hour slot Pornstar, and thats for the whole lot of the panel to talk not just you! 😀
 
Re: New TV Programme

I propose AtkyPNE for the 18-30, and Surf for the 45+ and maybe Shaky for the 30-45 group

Now that'd make things intresting!

Shaky 30-45 group?....are you on drugs?.....he must be pushing 50 by now! 😛
 
Re: New TV Programme

Actually,i think that PTID should represent the youngsters and the bonus being that she will provide a female perspective on the game.

Katie gets my vote.

Who asked you to compile a list?

I think the best would be:

18-30 01sbennett

You dont want him on TV, believe me, he's a ginger! Prefer atky's copper coloured hair on TV! or Katie either one will do for me, and their both mods.

Shaky and Surf would be a quality piece of TV, as would PeteEkins=Legend, where is he at the mo anyway not heard owt from the geezer of the forum for ages?

When I went to the forum meet a couple of years ago, prior to the West Ham match, I sat near you pornstar, unbeknowns to you at the time, and I earwigged into your conversations, 😱 they weren't personal they were about Preston North End. I thought you talked really well and you knew what you were on about...it was actually an eye opener listening to what you said and I personally feel you could represent the forum well.

Hopefully if you get chosen the others are as articulate and know as much about PNE as yourself. Would hate to be represented by someone who could embarrass us by losing the plot because they aren't winning a debate 😱 😀

I personally would like to see Joanpne as a female representative, if there is going to be one. She has been going on for years, and although she has her own personal views she is very open to others' opinions and also brilliant at debating without actually losing the plot and getting personal. Above all else she actually knows what she is talking about and sticks by her guns without stabbing anyone in the back because they disagree with her. Howsabout it Joan?

She's also got a funny story re an Eddie Lewis freekick at Leeds, last season, though it wasn't very funny at the time 😱
