BBC seeks Oldham children for new friendship TV show
The BBC is recruiting children from Oldham aged five to eight who struggle with making friends for a new six-part TV series called 'Will You Be My Friend?'. Produced by Five Mile Films for BBC One and iPlayer, the documentary will follow participants as they work with psychologists at the Friendship Centre to develop social skills and form connections. The series, which comes from the team behind Channel 4's The Dog House and First Dates, will track children's progress over six weeks and show how their experiences impact their lives at school.
