We are in danger of wandering a little off topic. You did say

As no one asked those questions in the programme I can't say at present.Maybe the questions will be asked in the future episodes.

I just made the point that if any of the crew asked any questions (whether they require detailed or vague answers) about the travelers income or taxes, they may well be thrown off the camp.

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
Well maybe we will be enlightened later in the series..But my response is valid in that not everyone even those with nothing to hide want to discuss their finances with a camera crew.

Re: My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.
By the way was it ever said just how much they were getting paid (or at least what C4 payed them) to have the series about them made etc?. As there cant be a single person on this board who would think they would be part of the program for free.

While I am perfectly well aware of the problems Pikeys can cause (and I use that term to describe those who do obtain things illegally, not general travellers), maybe these guys don't want to get abuse because people suddenly think they are pikeys?
BTW, just because someone has asked that their face be pixellated, it does not follow that they are doing something illegal. It can just mean they are fearful of reprisals from their local community (e.g. a shop keeper talking about some kids who nick stuff from his shop may want his face pixellated because he is frightened they'll do something a lot worse if they know he is talking to a TV crew about them).

I don't think so. They probably just didn't want to be identified in case they got mocked or bullied at school or college or elsewhere.
