Nothing like judging a programme before you've even seen it.

Rob,

Well the r18 issue was only one thing that has come up so far. If some companies are getting around it then from my understanding is that it would make it harder for other companies to work within the regulations. If I'm off the mark here then please let me know. Whether you believe it or not we are researching with open eyes and ears, willing to listen to and represent all people's points of view.

We are not interviewing professionals on this so there won't be anyone popping up to question anyone's statements. That would not be fair dealing . Furthermore if it was an expose I certainly wouldn't be asking questions here. Unless it's some kind of double bluff...

Appearing on TV is not going to appeal to everyone and for many different reasons. Of course that's fine by me. All I'm trying to do is find people who are interested in their point of view being put across.

The series will broadcast at the end of february. I'll post more details when i know them.

Now that's a story.

Unfortunately if it's the sort of thing that people think gets onto BBC Current Affairs then I'm in the wrong business!

Anyone got an opening for an experienced cameraman/producer?

Maybe if anyone's interested in talking this through they could get in touch directly.

best,
Dickon

So the only people who don't get paid are the ones you couldn't make a program without?

Time for a policy change.

If its going to be a fair and balanced view, will you give the people taking part broadcast edit approval?

Sancimonious bastards - not you BBC,-these perverts who are corrupting God-fearing citizens with their filth.

Praise the Lord, I saw the light and formed the Johnny Walker Appreciation Society so that poor unfortunate souls could find solace and comfort in His arms.

You will note that there has been no response from the prime corrupters!
I refer of course to that evil clique headed by Dover, Marino, Mason, McCavity etc. I cannot go on naming names, just the thought of these monsters makes me cringe and reach for JW's comforting arms.

NAME them!!!!
SHAME them!!!

The deepest dungeon in Christendom would be a Ritz compared to what they deserve.

To be honest I think the whole purpose of documentaries, their whole concept essentially, would be rendered meaningless if the contributors were paid.

I'd be quite happy to have a BBC crew come with me to Budapest, in no small part so that all week long I can say, "Those guys are from the BBC. They're doing a documentary on me." That's GOT to impress the girls!!

(Adopts Alan Partridge style tone) Seriously, please DO get in touch.
