I receieved an unusual email the other day. I’m not putting it in the magazine, but I’ev reproduced it here as it may be of interest to some brave frorum member. It sounds more entertaining than the usual ‘survival TV’…

I am a Producer at The Garden Productions, a well-established television production company based in London. We’re best known for making shows like ‘Squid Game: The Challenge’, ‘24 Hours in A&E’ and ‘24 Hours in Police Custody’. To find out more about us you can go to http://www.thegarden.tv.

We have an exciting new series coming out in September called ‘Apocalypse’ and we are currently casting for potential second series. It’s a survival-based series which imagines what might happen if civilization as we know it came to an end… if you were stripped of light, power, water and heat for whatever reason, what would you do?

We are looking for a cross section of British people who must survive and thrive for 28 days without any of the comforts of the 21st Century. No previous survival experience is necessary – just ingenuity, resilience and courage.

I was getting in touch with you directly as I understand you work with many engineers and enthusiasts, and we feel this series may appeal to people in this field of work. I wondered whether it may be possible for you to share our casting flyer (attached) amongst your colleagues to see whether it may be of any interest to any of them?   Also, if anyone in your team is interested in the series but who is not an engineer, then we also encourage them to apply too!

Anyone that is interested can apply directly via this link https://eu.castitreach.com/ag/itvgarden7/apocalypse/welcome.html
