Fancy being on TV? Freelance producer/director Alisa Pomeroy hopes so. The 31-year-old is making a documentary for BBC 2 to celebrate the diverse nature of the British family.

The series will follow a selection of British households as they they prepare for and hold family reunions. Ms Pomeroy - a senior producer on the last series of BBC One's The Apprentice - is searching for a Jewish family to take part in one of the episodes, to be screened next year.

She tells People: "I am looking to feature a Jewish family of any religious background. Jewish families have such interesting histories. It would be great to have a family with a Holocaust survivor so they can share their experiences, although this doesn't necessarily have to be the case. It will be a chance for the whole extended family to re-establish family bonds.

"There's a renewed interest in one's personal history and you can learn so much about yourself through your family."
