Paddy Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I can't watch these type of programs as they make me angry. I work full time to provide for my family and have done for the past 25 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade73 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I wonder whereabouts in Sheffield they live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade73 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Do these people get paid for all these documentaries, I'm assuming they're getting something out of it. I hope they inform the benefits office of any extra income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EODM83 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Good point - I appeared on Come dine with me and all my expenses were paid. I imagine that they dont get paid, as such, they just get well looked after for however long the filming is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EODM83 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 No spoilers here - but it was a while ago so yeah, i did haha. Everything was paid for by the production company - taxis everywhere, drinks, some food. But dont actually get paid for the show. i imagine its similar with these kinds of shows - everything laid on but no actual money being paid.

mda03cn Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I can't stand programmes like this. All smoke and mirrors to hide the governments real agenda. Divide and rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denlin Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I was on 15 to 1 twice and all expenses were paid including hotel when we went to London for filming but nothing for actually being on the programme - I didn't win though either time but didn't come last either, somewhere in middle both times ---------- Post added 15-01-2015 at 09:11 ---------- I was at Firth Park shopping and meeting some friends in Cafe in Park when they were filming part of that. The film crew came in the cafe for a drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
