PEOPLE who are thinking about chucking in their jobs and starting their own business are wanted for a new TV programme.

Channel 4 is researching a "reality" programme about the first "make or break" year when people change their lives and start up their own companies.

It is looking for a handful of pre-start-up businesses to follow, and is particularly keen to find one in the Worcester area.

"Our entrepreneurs won't have had any prior experience of running their own companies," said Nick Powell, managing director of Ricochet South, the TV production company responsible for the series.

"They'll be ditching a salaried career and gambling everything on fulfilling their dream.

"The series will be the must-see for anyone who has ever thought of setting up a business."
