fancy being the star of Reading Festival?

Do you love Reading Festival? Is it your yearly pilgrimage? Are you going with a gang of metallers, emo kids, mods - have you just got an interesting gang? Are you a seasoned pro or a first-timer? Are you just an interesting lively character who loves the festival?

If you’re one of the above then the BBC want to hear from you. They are looking for people who enjoy being filmed, and are willing to give up a little of their time over the weekend to show the viewers what their personal festival experience is like.
