Studio Lambert, the BAFTA-winning television production company behind programmes such as Gogglebox, Secret Millionaire and Undercover Boss, are hoping to engage with brass bands for an innovative new science series for BBC Two called 'Big Life Fix'.

Inspired

They exclusively told 4BR that the programme is inspired by the recent raft of incredible, life-changing inventions that have gripped the imagination — from 3D-printed prosthetic hands to robots to help people with dementia.

Help

Daniel Jones said: "Across the series, our team of expert engineers and technologists will create bespoke inventions for individuals, families and groups to transform their lives for the better. Playing in a brass band seems an ideal way in which we can help.

If selected, our expert 'Fix Team' will work with them to help make life easier in some way, using ingenious design and technology. This can be anything from an invention to help with basic daily tasks that are problematic because of their condition or situation, through to fulfilling a lifelong dream."

We would really love to help the music community in some way through the use of technology and in specific a band member that maybe unable to play any longer due to health issuesStudio Lambert

Use of technology

He added: "We would really love to help the music community in some way through the use of technology and in specific a band member that maybe unable to play any longer due to health issues.

We would love to invent and build a new piece of technology that will allow musicians to play once again."
