Unfortunately, television producers are very good at choosing people who will be excellent entertainment to watch on TV, rather then actually sending someone who would probably relish the opportunity to be out there.
Now a Brit to be proud of is Jane Walker, who has setup the Philippine Community Fund:

We were out with the project last year, and have to say it is an unbelievable setup. The kind of charity I like where it's not about giving something to people, it's about helping people to help themselves.
Wonder how much money the following put into helping the Philippines?
