Russell Brand Idea

As we were filming I came up with the idea of using Russell Brand as our presenter. I thought using a celebrity with past addictions would be a good focal point of the show as they could understand the struggles that these addcits are going through and be more empahetic. As well as increasing awarness for the show by givng the documentary more media attention, which would increase viewers for the series, What's My Addiction ?

After filming with an actor we decided not to use Russell Brand as my group was wary that the series may appear to comical with him as the presenter so we eventually decided against it. We also decdided against using Russell Brand as we feared that the addicts would be less inclined to open up to a celebrity as they would feel as though they couldn't connect.
