LOL!

With regards to the OP, brilliant that you are expanding this scheme. Hope it goes well.

I am in agreement with DJKillaQueen here, It seems to be running theme for certain production companies affiliated with the BBC in flouting the employment law offering no pay for participation in projects.

Example here:http://www.uk.castingcallpro.com/viewtopic.php?chain=85&topicnum=44930&p=1&format=1

Surely one would be under the assumption that this production has acquired funding before airing, so why they can not afford to pay for participants is beyond reason, especially when the BBC screws everyone out of paying licence fees!
