village sos

BBC ONE is looking to spark a rural revival with a major prime time series - Village SOS.

The series, which will start filming next year for broadcast on BBC ONE in Winter 2010, will feature six villages as they launch a brand new rural business, with the help of six “village champions” to bring their expertise in business, building - or whatever skills each village thinks it needs - to get its project off the ground.

Village SOS is a major new initiative from the Big Lottery Fund (BIG) and the BBC, who are searching for six UK villages with a great business idea and six enterprising individuals to act as ‘Village Champions’ and help them achieve their ambitions.
