Channel 4 documentary

[Guest]

Hi there,

Last year we made a very successful series for Channel 4 called NO GOING BACK, that followed families making the break, selling up and moving on to fulfill their dreams. You might have seen/heard about the lovely family setting up a fish farm in Brittany or the interesting family on the Island in Nicaragua. The series showed just how many people dream of getting out of the rat race, moving abroad or to the countryside.

We are currently making a second series and are looking for people that are in the process of moving ASAP. I was wondering if there was anyone out there in the sailing world had dreams of setting up a sailing venture abroad or elsewhere. Would love to hear from you if so.

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes,


Ariel White

NO GOING BACK - SERIES 2



The first series of No Going Back offered unique insights into the lives of people who have downed tools and upped sticks. Each programme told a different story of people transforming their lives to follow their dreams. Be it running an idyllic 28 acre carp farm surrounded by lakes in the stunning location of Brittany, or tending your own grapes, olives and almonds in scenic rural Spain, to setting up a safari lodge in sun drenched Zambia, owning a hotel in the beautiful Welsh mountains, or buying an exotic Island in Nicaragua. We are currently in the process of filming updates on all these stories, but due to the success of No Going Back, we are now looking for new life changing ventures for the second series.

We are now looking for people who are in the process of pursuing their dream, selling up and planning never to return, creating a new life here or abroad.

Delighted to do it. If C4 could get me a little hotel in St. Maarten I'm sure my family and I could provide edge-of-the-seat "reality" TV for the appropriate fee. Just let my Mother-in-Law come along......

Just off to Lagos on the 30th to sus it out. Then if Ok. A quick zoom round Biscay and park up. SHMBO might have other plans!! Anyway we've already done the film. It's called.
Meekatharas World Cruise (well Nearly). We could flog it to you if you want!!

There are not spelling mistakes. Its a kriptic cwiz.

Get me a nice 30 odd footer and I'll quite happily dump everything and go sailing for a year or so..

The temptations great but would you accept conditions? No publicity, no identifiable mugshots, voice over?

Not doing it just yet, but thought your series was absolutely first class and we enjoyed it immensly, don't forget to do a follow up.

Don't be discouraged, this subject will make a fascinating programme and I trust that you will get some serious replies.I am looking forward to watching it.

Follow up?

Excellent series, do you plan to do a follow up showing how each of the families has progressed?

A Channel Four documentary, huh?

A 30-year-old producer could impersonate the 17-year-old son of the family who is selling up, in order to stage a romance with the winsome teenage daughter of the family in the boat four berths down. Plenty of love interest as they sail off into the sunset, plus he could dive in and stage a heart-stopping rescue when she runs into trouble by losing control of her Topper dinghy in the harbour mouth just as the fishing fleet is coming back in.

Oh, and he'd have to be exposed as a fraud by some paper like... How about the Pompey News? That should do nicely.

Only joking - but I will accept the script commission... ;- ))

But seriously... you'll probably get more serious answers if you try the Liveaboard forum.
