h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Our colleagues at BBC Entertainment are looking for people to take part in a pilot for a new BBC2 series. They're specifically looking for people who have a problem that they'd like our mystery celebrity agony aunt to help solve.

Been going out with your partner for ages, but he or she always makes excuses when the subject of marriage, living together or moving in comes up?

Are you trying to lose weight and finding that your partner or your family are not being very supportive?

50, fab and flirty? Are you in your fifties but get some stick from your partner or kids for your dress sense?

Are you or your partner having difficulties getting along with the in-laws?

Then the BBC wants to hear from you.

For more details please email: nononsense AT bbc.co.uk (replacing the AT with the @ symbol).

Only UK residents presumably

If it's a BBC programme, I'd guess so

ok i'll take part, cus i'm worth it

Oh that's so funny. I had to delete a load of messages that looks strangely like this from my new website. Looks like they've learnt their lesson and have learnt to ask the site owners first.

Actually we remove a lot of BBC researchers messages. Naughty BBC!

I really think a Yank would be good here. After all besides being strange we talk funny and we dress weirdly. And if they let me come I won't drink the water. And I will bring my own ice.

Heck, I'll take a bath before I come over. Pick me. Pick me.

Oops. I think I got to fill something out first. Now where did I put that form?

Is this new BBC policy to advertise for contestants across the board on BBC sites or are we just extra special?

Traveller in Time on the form
"It is just why they do these surveys ? "

If it is restricted to UK residents only i shall seriously seethe....

zdt *ALIVE and wellish and living in FRANCE*

I used to have a Mandolin and my oldest daughter brought home a ferret.

For real!

Time to go home.

i just had to sell the mandolin (needed cash...but it's gone to a very good home, celtic musician friends of mine) and the ferret died (had an argument with a truck, but before doing so, made a guy with cancer's lifelong dream come true, he always wanted a ferret)

C'est la vie for us, and ferrets, and mandolins i guess.

Why would a celtic musician want a vegetable slicer?
Ah!
I suppose they have to eat like the rest of us.

I wonder if an agony aunt could cure a 61 year old who is happy at w*rk?

I live in the wrong country!!!!

By the by, if the Rev Jack's life is as entertaining as his diary suggests, he absolutely belongs on this programme.

(See the latest ...)

heck, i'll join. aunt beeb still has something called 'world service' has she not?

If I HAVE TO wear clothes jusss leave me out.

So all of you are suffering from one of the four problems stated then? I'll look forward to seeing you and your families utterly humiliated on my tv then, possibly with marriage breakups to follow!

Go on whos game , Give us a laugh

Good question, Mort. It's always good to hear from the Big Italic Who Runs The Site.

And of *course* it's reassuring to know that the most important thing that the Italics have to communicate with us is that the Beeb is soliciting grockles for reality-tv shows.

*Considering using this board to advertise her availability for work, the fact that she'd like someone to clean her windows and that a tennant for her flat wouldn't go amiss either. Oh. And that she needs a sense-of-humour transplant, because her previous one broke.*
