Are you tired of the rat race? Do you envy the overnight celebrity that new TV personalities seem to acquire? Would you like to turn your hand to show business, but are let down by your voice, your two left feet or your dubious acting?

If so, an opportunity has come knocking that may be of interest, and you don't need to be supermodel, a singer or a soap star to put yourself forward for this one.

Ricochet South is a TV production company currently doing a nationwide search to find the "Jamie Oliver" of the property world. Some lucky but talented unknown is about to be catapulted into the big time as the lead presenter for a brand new prime time TV property show.

This amazing opportunity is open to anyone who is comfortable with the world of property: estate agents, property developers, architects, surveyors or interior designers, it's not really important. All that really matters is that you have a talent for talking up the plus points of a property, or the ability to add ten grand to the value of a house at the drop of a hat. You also have to be aged from 25 to 35, look good on camera, be energetic, ultra-confident, have a good sense of humour and be willing to give up a lot of time throughout February, March and April 2002.

If this is you, then it is seriously time to be examining your career options and thinking about trying your hand at something different. But remember that news travels fast these days, and this information has already been sent out to almost 9000 estate agents up and down the country, courtesy of the Partake Multi Listings System (MLS) database.

So if you're interested, don't waste any time and email a photo, with your name, age and contact phone number, along with an 80-100 word description of why you are the best man (or woman) for the job, to:
property@ricochetsouth.co.uk (with digital photo attached)
