LEIGH, Atherton and Tyldesley people can have five minutes of fame and a free garden or room makeover if they take part in a new TV programme.

TV producers want people to open their homes to the cameras for "Style File" a new daytime series for the BBC Digital Channel UK Style.

The programme will feature dozens of people having their gardens or a room in their house transformed within just one week.

Householders must be prepared to help out with the transformation -- but in return 'Style File' will provide a top designer and a budget.

Series producer Tracy Molloy said: "We are looking for different sorts of people -- from families to couples and single people -- who would like a new look for their garden or a room in their home.

"They must be prepared to muck in and get involved and while there will be lots of hard work it should all be a lot of fun as well."

Anyone interested in getting involved must send a non-returnable home video of the garden or room -- or lots of photos of the garden or room -- with a photograph of themselves and a short letter explaining why they think they should be picked.
