Now here is something novel for those who feel they would like to take a new role in life.

I have been email by Robbie Hamilton

I work for Hat Trick Television Productions (we’re best known for making Have I Got News For You) and we are currently casting for a new family based documentary series. I would hugely appreciate it if you could forward our casting information (attached below) on to your horse owners (or anyone else that comes to mind) in case it might spark anyone’s interest. If you’d like any more information don’t hesitate to ask.

Hat Trick Productions are currently looking for families to take part in a new documentary series for Channel 5 that will explore the growing wealth divide in Britain. Each episode will see two families with very different incomes swap homes and budgets for one week.

This is a prime time slot and we are looking for families who want to experience the way the other half live and to show their children the different values of life.

It’s very topical subject matter but should also be a fun and informative experience with a really warm hearted tone – something which both families can take something valuable away from. The age old question of whether money buys you happiness will be a constant theme, we’re looking to gain a real insight into how incomes inform family lives.

We’re currently on the search for adventurous families at the upper end of the income spectrum, with at least one child still living at home. If you’re interested in finding out more and potentially taking part, then please email families@hattrick.com or call 0207 184 5775.

The fact that there is a 'Highway to Hell' and only a 'Stairway to Heaven' says a great deal about the anticipated traffic numbers..
