Struggling With Debt? The BBC Needs You!

If this is you, Betty TV would like to hear from you.

Betty TV are producing a film will form part of a season on BBC1 about debt - airing in January 2009.

The programme is a one-off classic documentary following three couples or families in trouble with their mortgage - as so many people are at the moment. It will be a sympathetic portrayal of people unexpectedly falling in to debt. They have one family already and are keen to find a couple more.

They need to show a range of outcomes and to follow the families through the process. They want to show homeowners who are in the midst of this and to follow them as they navigate themselves through the situation.

Ringing them does NOT mean you’ve agreed to be filmed and all calls are in the strictest confidence.

Please call Claire for an informal chat:
