Default I'm casting for a brand new home renovation series for a major UK Broadcaster

Hi there,

My names Rhys and I'm casting producer over at PI Productions which is run by
the people that brought you shows such as MasterChef and Grand designs.

I wanted to bring to you attention that we are casting for a brand new home
renovation TV series and I wanted to see if this is something you, your
friends, family or even your colleagues might be interested in.

If this is something either yourself or someone you know might be interested
in finding more information about it, do get in touch.

Since you appear to be posting via homeownershub, expect answers when Ch4
no longer exists.

Posting from or via Homeowner's Hub is not going to enhance your
credibility at all. If you had hoped to be taken seriously, that is.

They will be looking for people with half a million in their back pocket
to pay for the renovations.

Those with £10 to £20k to pay for renovations appear on daytime property
auction programmes.

The kind of people they are looking for? You erroneously assume that
they a looking for someone with DIY competence.

What he means is that he spent loads of money and it won't have paid for
its self in money terms for decades.
It will probably never pay for itself in terms of saving CO2.

He also has a very polluting wood burner like the government wants to
get rid of.


He has been on TV before and is just after some more cash.

Ask him about his second car that he uses when there isn't enough range
on his electric car.

The main issue is that the OP is unlikely to be back here to read anything. I don't know the details of Harry's place but superinsulation can make sense. PV less so. Firewood is alright if you want to keep fit and have nothing better to do, but relying on it isn't so great, everyone gets ill at some point.

Indeed, the pay is such that they only get wallies. Then complain they

Think they may look out for wallies. Perish the thought that the prog
would only be about its subject. Every one will have someone with cancer
and someone who is pregnant. Maybe even at the same time.
