Hello there Bristol Mumsnet! 
My name is Eve and I work in the programme development team in BBC Bristol. We're looking at a new daytime programme idea featuring Paul Martin (antiques expert who presents the BBC1 show 'Flog It!' - but also happens to be a smallholder) whereby families thinking of leaving behind the urban life for a new one in the countryside try their hand at smallholding challenges at Paul's home.
We are looking to film what's known as a "taster tape" - a short preview film to give a flavour of how the programme might look and feel - with Paul and a family who have ever thought about this kind of change of lifestyle on the 21st September.
This won't be for broadcast on TV, but will hopefully help us convince the programme commissioners that the idea should form a new series on BBC1! It will involve a bit of filming with you at home and some more hands-on filming at Paul's smallholding in the south west.
I'm looking to hear from any families who has ever daydreamed about leaving the city behind and starting again in the countryside - perhaps living self-sufficiently, growing your own, running your own smallholding?
You don't need to have made the decision yet, but this filming opportunity would give you a small taste of what it could be like and might help you to make up your mind.
If you'd like to find out more or think this sounds like fun then please get in touch with me - eve[dot]white[at]bbc.co.uk
Thanks for reading!
Best regards,
Eve White
