Welcome to Torquay – a picturesque harbor town on the English riviere. We float over hundreds of small craft and yachts moored along wooden jetties behind the Princess pier, before closing in on one of the boats. As we get closer a very pretty young blonde woman steps up onto the small deck of the […] read

We open on the kind of ugly post-modern concrete structure that was all-too-popular in the UK in the 70s and 80s. Low, oddly shaped, drab coloured. Attempts at landscaping have failed to make it look any more impressive. Light rain falls against a grey sky. Inside, we see council workers hard at work (for the […] read

We open on a photo of a geek sitting infront of a computer, looking into camera. Then fade through to a stunning bit of fantasy artwork – a large, muscle-bound and windswept hero – with the same face as the geek. Then fade to another photo, a greasy haired kid trying to look tough. Fading […] read

Producer’s note… “In previous years we’ve been accused of setting the bar fairly low for some of our guests. It’s always been the policy of the producers to find a true cross-section of the public – and show that no matter who you are or how you look – you can live out your dream […] read

We fade in on a drone shot – flying over the middle of a small town… Not too pretty, low rise, tightly packed… Then panning around over a large, craggy area of parkland, before coming to rest on a large old-school factory. We hover over the factory for a moment, then cut to… Outside the […] read

We open with a mini-montage of the architecture and beauty of the historic city of Cambridge.  Universities, churches, museums, old houses…  We see a couple being taken for a romantic trip along the River Cam on a punt.  There’s lots of people about, and it’s a beautiful sunny day (observant viewers may note that this […] read

We open with a mini montage to show our location…  A wide, dark, river running through a city, a ferry crossing from one side, a large old building with the statue of a bird on the roof, night-time shots of hundreds of football fans celebrating in the streets…  Yes, no prizes for guessing we’re in […] read

We fade in on the familiar frontage of Charley’s stylish townhouse – then we cut to inside, right to Charley’s home office, and find her once again sitting at her editing suite.  She’s not doing much editing though – she has her back to us, both feet up against the front of her desk, her […] read
