I am a producer with the UK's prime time travel show “Holiday Undercover” (on ITV1) and we are currently looking for former cruise ship staff to take part in our feature called “Confessions of”. This is an opportunity for interviewees to tell us about their most outrageous, hilarious, and terrifying moments at sea. Ideally we are looking for shocking revelations about what goes on behind the scenes. Nobody will have to name the companies they worked for. Some stories will be light-hearted while others will be more serious. In later programmes we will be doing similar features with former cabin crew and cruise ship staff. My contact details are Jason.beresford@granadamedia.com. Can anybody help?

I am with Malcolm; suely we have enough Vital Sparks or Ols Sea Salts out there who can meet this producer's (Granada) CV qualifications?

I can myself identify many ex- MYT or Suncruises "back-bone staff" who have shed loads to tell us, "we the viewer"; it's not, as far as I can see, 'dish the dirt', but insider experience to paint a first hand picture of the fastest growing holiday market since Sir Frank Whittle invented the Jet Engine simultaneously with Hans Von Ohain!

If you are still shy, send me private email and I will ask my 'hands-on' contacts at GTV Mancs to underwrite Mr Beresford's provenence! Jason.beresford@granadamedia.com

Time we had the bulk of the good news on how and why we Brits take to water and miss Suncruises and all Her people? I trust this is not Holidays from Hell but what "we" are about, and that is not "fools and their money easily separated!

Lets seperate the heart from the head and give him a fair crack of the whip, should we?
