I've just received this in my inbox...Any Forces-of-Nature members interested taking on Anne Robinson??

Justal,

I'm writing this e-mail as confirmation of our discussion earlier this week.


My name is James Christian, and I'm a researcher for the BBC's 'Weakest
Link'. We have recently moved into series 5 and are currently looking into a
few proposed 'Weakest Link' specials. An 'Extreme Sports' special is an idea
we currently have in the pipeline, and at this stage are putting the
'feelers' out, so to speak, in order to calculate a level of interest.

The idea is to have 9 contestant representing various areas of extreme
sports, e.g.:

* Sky-Surfing/Diving
* Free Climbing
* Bunjy
* Downhill Mountainbiking
* Motor-X
* Kite-Surfing
* Cave-Diving
* Rafting
* Wakeboarding
* Snowboarding
* BMX
* Skateboarding
* Wing-Walking
* Free-diving
* Mountainboarding

Not only am I hoping that we are going to find an enthusiastic, confident
and visually stimulating calibre of contestant, but I also feel it would
promote a somewhat under-exposed subject (throughout UK at least ).We would
like to meet any of your team members/fellow employees/friends who feel they
would like to take on the 'ultimate' challenge and face up to the 'Queen of
Mean'?

By about the end of March, we are hoping to confirm the final line-up.
However, a record date hasn't been scheduled at present. The outcome/success
of the research will determine the future of the show.

Please feel free to phone me on the number below to confirm any unanswered
questions or concerns. Alternatively you can contact me on my mobile: 07866

Regards,

James

I notice surfing or windsurfing isn't considered 'Extreme' anymore then.... And how many people do you know who goes 'wing-walking'??

Just had another e-mail about this:

Justal,

I have just returned to the office from a targeting trip in Cornwall, to find out the show will be going ahead.

If you have anybody who is interested in appearing on this special, I will need to meet-up with them ASAP. Part of the selection process requires us to conduct a short 2-3 min. interview in front of a camera. We can either travel to you, or you can come and see us in London. Whichever is easiest?

I do hope there is some interest from your team, as I think they would work really well in the final line-up.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Regards,

JC
