BBC Cymru Wales Is Casting Families For "Snowdonia Farmhouse"
BBC Cymru Wales will be transporting two modern day families back to 1890 for a brand new television series, "Snowdonia Farmhouse."
The search is now on to find people to take part in this unique interactive project. Filming will take place during March/April next year but the recruitment of families starts now.
SYNOPSIS:
The series, to be filmed and broadcast in 2010, will take two Welsh families and immerse them in 19th century life. Living in neighbouring farm cottages in Snowdonia, the families will face a daily battle for survival. The women will labour the land, tend the livestock and run the family home while the men will work in the nearby slate mines. Their trials and tribulations will mirror the challenges faced by their forefathers over 100 years ago.
Indus Television, the production company behind the successful and ground breaking Coal House series, is looking forward to hearing from potential applicants.
SEEKING:
MALES & FEMALES (all ages; any ethnicity) - WELSH FAMILIES. We are looking for two 21st century families who are prepared, for one month, to be transported back to the primitive existence of 1890s Snowdonia hillside farmers.
NOTE:
This is not "pretend living;" the successful families will face a tough physical challenge and be expected to genuinely deal with the realities of this previously untold way of life.
