I haven't really got anything to say about the subject of the documentary, but I just wanted to say that Tom has approached us in a very sensible manner.

He has provided his real name, the production company , the channel that has commissioned it and then given a brief description of the programme. If anybody were thinking of getting involved, there is enough information to make some sort of basic checks on his background and previous work.

However I too am puzzled that a programme about erotic asphyxiation is not regarded as being about BDSM. It seems pretty kinky to me and many would consider it to be fairly extreme.

Asphyx play isn't always about bdsm - the fetish world do things to each other just 'cos it feels good and gets the desired results.

Has anyone else looked at the CTVC website at http://www.ctvc.co.uk? They appear to specialise in investigative reporting with a Christian/religious slant to a lot of their programmes.

Looks as though any input would be to provide a balance to the programme but you can pretty much guess what the conclusion is going to be.

There is an informative page on breathplay here http://mauibdsm.org/node/269 which seems to give medical facts and figures perhaps they'd be interested in that?

If I had to guess I'd say this is being prompted by the tragic recent death of Kristian Digby, rather than Jane Longhurst.

I don't think it's about either of them. The memo to admin appears to be very carefully worded to say "Erotic Asphyxiation" and only mentions Auto- obliquely when mentioning negative press.

I don't know what's right and what's real any more

I can't help as far as the documentary is concerned but I'd be interested to see such a programme end up on a torrent site (not to mention the BBC) where thousands if not millions of people could download potentially illegal material!
