Would you like to be in a documentary about community websites and say nice things about Mumsnet (pretty please)?

Hello Mumsnetters!

Here at Banyak film we're producing a documentary on how the Internet has created some remarkable communities where people freely share knowledge and resources. We think Mumsnet is a prime example of "people providing for each other" and would like to learn more.

We're looking for parents who can speak enthusiastically about Mumsnet. How has it helped you with parenthood? How does it compare with the parental advice you can get through government channels? Have you ever used the community as a platform for campaigns on childcare or parenting issues?

Our documentary will be broadcast by a national TV channel later this year.

If you'd like to talk more about what's involved please mail Matan - [email protected]

Thanks!

I'd do a 'live via satellite' and wax lyrical about how mumsnet helped me when I was all on my own with DD in a lots of strange countries and no real life support.

Or alternatively Banyak could pay for my return first class flights back to blighty and I'd do the whole i/v for free. Cheap at half the price.

I would to - I have found MN to be of great support over the years and would love to talk about it

I think the childminders club is an aspect of the pooled information that they are referring to

LynetteScavo · 10/03/2008 23:31

Oh, madamez I think you should do it. I want to see what you're like in RL!

Ineedacleaner · 10/03/2008 23:28

davidtennantsmistress · 10/03/2008 19:08

fryalot · 10/03/2008 18:50

Would love to say nice things about mumsnet, but really would not want to be in a documentary.

If they want to get their people to talk to my people, I will give them my opinions, but no cameras

Nbg · 10/03/2008 18:48

I'd love to do it but am buggered if they only want londoners.

In fact sorry to say this (not your fault mn) but it does piss me off that the whole universe is centered around bloody London.

There are other parts of the country you know!

Ledodgy · 10/03/2008 18:13

I've jsut emailed but they probably want people who are in or around London.

pukkapatch · 10/03/2008 18:12

my initial reaction was. of course.
however, i quite like the fact that rl people dont know who i am. although if they really wanted to, they could figure it out. so i dont really want to be on national telly outing myself to everyone.

BecauseImWorthIt · 10/03/2008 18:12

There's more to MN than just parenting, btw. As a parent of older children I use it only occasionally for help with child-related issues - and a lot more for general advice/help and support and general entertainment in all kinds of other things, e.g.

an arts and crafts MNetter who repaired my watch forme
a French MNetter who bought and sent me some specific French stationery
a book swap club

In return, I have contributed and hopefully helped other MNetters - via the Christmas appeals and financial donations to a few very in-need MNetters

Nothing here about feeding, nappy changing or controlling tantrums!
