Have you filmed a crash, scrape or near miss? ITV wants your footage

[Mr_Kipling]

For a brand new primetime show about UK road crashes, near misses, scrapes and escapes, ITV are looking for footage filmed on dash cams and helmet cams by road users across the country.

As well as featuring the clips themselves, we are looking to tell the stories behind some of these clips, and speak to those involved.

Please get in touch if you have a clip you think we could use in the show. We'd also like to know if you might be interested in appearing on camera to talk through your experiences.

Please contact us at caughtoncamera@itn.co.uk - we look forward to hearing from you.

How about include a shot of your news vans parked 4 wheels on the pavement?

And there's an operator who clearly needs to get out on a bike now and then!

The temerity of the person who has joined CC just to invite us to stroll into the lion's den is beyond belief. Do you seriously expect us to do your work for you? Go and film some proper documentaries instead of collecting carp videos then stringing them together with an equally carp, ill-informed voiceover.

I've got some nice photos of cake.

That's a great idea: "Ooh, look at this, I just had a near miss with a bakewell tart..."

Fill their inbox with footage of cafe stops and cake munching.

Why aren't accounts like the op in this thread just closed immediately, obviously no interest in the forum just here to 'sell' us something be it a product or in this case their documentary?

I'm "liking" your post but be fair, we are having some fun with it...

I think the debate on this will be worth keeping the thread open, just wondering as other 'spammers' accounts just get removed straight away.

Only if the spammer is selling kitchens.

ITV is selling the Chance For Glory. I mean, doesn't EVERYONE want to BE ON TV???!

Does occur to me, that although I'm enjoying the thread, that they're not likely to go away having read this, thinking 'Oh, I must show cyclists in a better light'.

I'm with Ganymede on this one. The mods could take the position you suggest but then the TV companies wouldn't get the feedback of just how little we trust them to produce anything other than stereotypical drivel. I'd rather be able to tell them, publicly, how I feel about their 'programmes'.

It'd be nice to see a reply from @ITVCaughtOnCamera

Very good point. But are they reading it? As stephec says:

Yes indeed it would.

We want this to be a thoughtful and insightful film that goes beyond the standard clip show format and doesn't take a them/us approach, widening divisions on the road - that's exactly why we're reaching out to people like you. Please tell us what you want to see, and get in touch.
