A TV company is on the lookout for local residents to take part in a new production.

Blink Films is making a documentary for BBC Arts about important books in people’s lives.

A spokesperson for the TV company said: “Did a single book completely transform your life? Did reading it inspire you to make a huge change?

“If so, we'd love to hear your stories.”
