Female explorers: is this you?

10 October 2008 Rob Buckley UK TV 2 Comments

Women: want to eat dead camel dung on TV and then explain its nutritional benefits? Then do I have the job for you.

North One Television (www.northonetv.com) are pitching documentaries to terrestrial broadcasters and need a female explorer / adventurer.

We are looking for feisty females with expertise on survival, travel and adventure.

You need to speak with authority on surviving in the wild and be equally comfortable in the Amazon jungle as well as the Arctic Circle.

You would not think twice about eating locusts or dung from a dead camel to survive and also know the nutritional benefits of this.

We will be casting in the next few weeks.

If you think you have what it takes, please email Federico Ruiz

Please include as much information as possible in your email: experience, website links, articles, pictures etc.

Deadline: 15th Oct, 18:00

I’m guessing the ‘pictures’ request means that either they want proof you’ve been further afield than Benidorm or that you’ve got to be cute. Or both.
