IMAGINE a cross between The Osbournes and The Truman Show and you get a fair picture of a new internet experiment.

A family from Newport, in South Wales, has been chosen for a fly-on-the-wall webcam broadcast in which their every move will be recorded for 100 days.

The Want family could become a web phenomenon if the social experiment conducted by technology firm Epson proves popular.

They were chosen for the project as a typical family so it remains to be seen how interesting watching them making dinner and doing dishes turns out to be.
