CASTING directors are on the hunt for faces to appear in a new BBC series - and they're looking for people in Somerset.

The BBC show in question is unnamed, but is set to focus on groups of people teaming up across the UK, hunting for a bargain to then flip for profit when selling at auction.

Set to rival the BBC's Bargain Hunt, production crews are seeking contestants from all backgrounds.

If you love a charity shop, or even if you don’t, you can get in touch by applying via here or email.

Speaking about the new show, a casting director said: "Want to take part in a new shopping and auction-based show? Can you spot a bargain and turn it around for a profit? Fancy a bit of upcycling? 

"We’re looking for fun couples, friends, siblings or colleagues to go on a mad dash across the UK’s towns searching for hidden charity shop treasures.     

"But there’s a catch... you’ll be competing against each other to turn this bounty into cash."

Applicants for the new show must be over the age of 18 and apply via a link or by emailing casting@onetribetv.co.uk.

"Please take the time to fill in the application form carefully," said a casting director.  "The person you are applying with will also have to complete an application form. 

"We would also like you to send us some pictures and a quick 1-2 minute video about yourself. This is not mandatory, but it allows us to get a better overall picture of you and will help with processing your application."

All information will be processed in accordance with One Tribe TV's privacy notice. Closing date for applications is Sunday, August 31.
