I agree with with you all, hardcore should be available in the UK on TV but I doubt it will be for a long while. Mind you the reason I first subscribed to Fantasy Channel when it first launched wasn't because of the content of the programmes or the films. Though of course they were excellent, the reason I subscribed originally was the presenters. If you remember TVX used to have Page 3 Presenters through the night. Like video DJ's after, say, an episode of Ben Dover there was Sammy Jessop (my ultimate fave) and/or Charmaine Sinclair, Linda Leigh etc to present the next show. I think the worst decision they made was to change to the current 10 minute preview format. The presenter idea was a great one, even when it changed to one of them presenting the 10 minute preview only. You can all feel free to disagree and I will understand if I am in a minority but I think they should go back to that format. I am sure that seeing the Daily Sport models presenting like Sammy and Charmaine used to do would bring in the subscribers. At least thats something they can do something about, asking the producers such as Marino to produce hardcore for TV is simply a waste of time. Look how long hardcore videos were legal in Europe until Britain caught on. Believe me it will be a much bigger gap before we get hardcore on TV.
