Run Away, Get Paid, Be A Star...

Had it up to here with the world? Sick to the back teeth of the creeping hypocrisy of our cynical materialistic society? Or maybe you're just fed up with your boss, your mates and living in Milton Keynes... Yes, it does happen.

Well, there's a TV company looking for people who are taking off abroad for a specific reason rather than 'just travelling', to quote the production company:

"They're a family of four, the parents are wondering what's next and they decide to sail around the world. Or, they're a bunch of friends in their late 20s/30s, they're all fed up and need an adventure so decide to go cycling for six weeks."

Or maybe you've just battered your boss to death with a filing cabinet, stapled his lifeless corpse to the company noticeboard and are on the run from the police. At any rate, the company is offering 'basic support and financial help' in exchange for making you into a small screen star, by following your preparations and trip.

If you've got itchy feet and an unusual project on the go then drop an e-mail to Sarah Granger and she'll be able to fill you in on the details. Now has anyone seen that staple gun?
