BBC Three Looking for Red Head

We get a lot of press attention here at Gingerism HQ. Our latest email is from Nicola Asamoa, a producer for BBC Current Affairs. She writes:
I'm looking for a red head man to take part in a documentary for BBC 3. The man must be 16-24 and will have felt victimised for being a redhead.
If this sounds like you and you'd like to be involved in the show, let Nicola know by emailing nicola.asamoa@bbc.co.uk.
