Firstly, I hope this is the corect board; Admin please move this thread if it is in the wrong place. I have been approached by ITV Television who are planning a new series of "Four Weddings". I have said I want nothing to do with the programme, but would post a request for him. Apparently, they are planning a series of "different" ceremonies and are looking for a BDSM couple to take part. I've not watched the programme so really haven't much idea what it's like, but the guy has asked me to mention that the winners will receive a £10,000 honeymoon. The guy I spoke to hasn't much of a clue about what collaring means and is totally nilla, but he did say that he's looking to make a serious programme and isn't out to make "us" look weird, stupid, etc. ... how realistic a goal that is given the nature of the programme is debateable. As I have said, the programme is absolutely nothing to do with me but I did say I would post in case anyone out there is interested (I did warn him he wasn't likely to find too many people who jump at the chance). So, if you would like the guy's contact details, please memo me. Regards, Lady P You're not weird, you're just unique ... Clara, aged 9! | |

Since they manage to make most of the 'nilla couples look weird, stupid etc I really wouldn't hold out much hopes of them avoiding this with BDSM couples. In fact I suspect the only people who would want to get involved are *already* weird and/or stupid which, of course, will do a huge favour for the BDSM community <eye roll> | |

It would be a real shame to pass up something so mainstream though. What we really need (as a community) is a normal looking, sane, intelligent, attractive and committed couple who are exhibitionist enough to want to do this. Anyone know a couple like this? lol No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent. Abraham Lincoln | |

I seem to recall that they've been trying this for the better part of a year. Personally, I think they're best ignored. | |

Nah that was a channel 4 show, that funnily enough a woman I knew from work is going to be the registrar on. "Have people always been this angry? I've got this really funny idea that before the internet people would just write FUCK YOU! and attach it to pigeons" - Russell Howard | |

Normal and sane makes for shit television. You could edit a week of film on Mother Theresa to make Hitler look not so bad. Why don't cash machines have a Gamble button? | |

I'm in two minds about this. While I can see the positives of presenting a "normal looking, sane, intelligent, attractive and committed couple". But I remain uneasy at the thought of the producer's possible motives and agenda. What really surprises me is that in our contemporary celebrity obsessed society that no wannabe clowns have not come forward already in the hope of finding fame and fortune. (As spawned by programmes such as Big Brother or Pop Idol: Jedward, Jade Goody et al...) The absence of takers is possibly reassuring and maybe suggests that most like myself regard privacy as sacrosanct.

Would you by any chance be refering to this? Obviously not that popular an offer, if they have had no takers after all this time! Owner of The Croppery Dungeon and Breakfast. Organises The St Leonards munch Promotes The Club with no name | |

They are 2 different shows on 2 different channels. The channel 4 one is already filming now. "Have people always been this angry? I've got this really funny idea that before the internet people would just write FUCK YOU! and attach it to pigeons" - Russell Howard | |

id be sceptical off anythign involveing jounalists, they ahve a habbit off twisting what you say and only reporting things that are likely to stir up a shit storm. When they offer you complete aninimty i wouldn't trust them all that much either. sorry but ive experienced jounalists before to my cost - never again i can't think of anything to say here |
