Hi I was just wondering if anyone could tell me when they tend to film the show? Just wondering how much time I might need to take off work and whether they film weekends as well? thanks x

Hi, Helen here episode 2, series 2. You'll need to be available for 2 -3 months. They will try and give you a filming schedule but it's really hard for them to stick to it at times! On average I was in London 1 - 1.5 days a week and every fortnight or so they were with me in Scunny either one - two days. What I really got from filming this was an appreciation of how long it takes to film a programme and bear in mind that alot of what you film won't even make the show! Good luck, have a ball, I did! x

p.s. Sorry! You need to be available during the week and weekends too x

Yeah I can imagine it takes a while, thanks for the info, i'm stressing a bit as I can't really take week days off but i'll have to see what happens. Thanks again

have you actually been selected for hte show?
congrats if you have - hope it goes well

Not as yet, still hoping!!
