Channel 4 are on the hunt for a Scottish family to take part in the upcoming series of Gogglebox.
A casting team for the show has been tasked exclusively with finding participants from North of the Border, and it is hoped that at least one family will join the cast in the new year.
The channel's chief executive Alex Mahon confirmed the news in a letter to the Commons Scottish Affairs Committee, following a session in September on Public Broadcasting in Scotland.

Channel 4 has previously received complaints from viewers, as well as MPs such as Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross, about the lack of Scottish representation on Gogglebox.
The reality show documents families and groups of friends' reactions to the previous week's television from their own homes.
Scottish Affairs Committee Chair Pete Wishart MP said: “Channel 4 has impressive credentials for supporting independent producers and offering opportunities for young people wishing to explore the sector.
"We are bursting at the seams with talent in Scotland, and I am pleased to hear Channel 4’s efforts to harness this potential.
“A theme which came up in our evidence session was the lack of a Scottish family on Gogglebox. It is clear some have approached the channel with similar concern, often offering themselves as an option."
He continued: "I am therefore pleased to see a dedicated team tasked with this and look forward to seeing the successful family on our screens in the new series!”
