Producers want an IT-literate family to live without technology for a new BBC series

Do you want to be on TV?

The television company behind the hit shows Who Do You Think You Are and New Tricks is looking for an IT-literate family willing to live their lives without technology as part of a new programme.

The BBC4 TV series, co-produced by The Open University and the BBC, will look at the impact that technology has had on family life over the past 40 years.

The three-part show will take a modern British family back to the 1970s and then fast forward them through the domestic technological revolution of the 1980s and the 1990s.

“In the 1970s the family will experience life without the technology we’ve begun to take for granted; they’ll live a seventies life in a seventies house without Sky+, Facebook and the Wii,” said Wall to Wall, the show’s producer.

The company is looking for volunteers to take part in the show, and approached Computing to see if any of our readers would be interested.

If you are, you need to be a home-owning family with at least three children between the ages of six and eighteen.

If you want to find out more details on this opportunity, please contact the production company via either Michael Fraser on 020 7241 9349, or Laura Jackson on 020 7241 9308 or email [email protected] or [email protected] .
