We (
ergotia and I) reckon we'll see:
- A mid-thirties transvestite who looks like a glamorous secretary, and is a web designer
- A well-preserved hard-faced mid-forties blonde called Margaret living in the suburbs with Master Doug (who is an in-house accountant in a firm that makes lawnmowers, and is really ugly), wearing hideous leathers
- Detailed coverage of a fetish that no-one we know does
- Someone who runs a sex shop showing you their crap handcuffs in a very annoying voice
- Voiceover by a crap psychologist
- A professional dominatrix
- A tame, lame stage show, possibly featuring some very half-hearted girl-on-girl action
- No really good-looking people who are not in the sex industry
- No queers, apart from maybe some women who swing
- No switches
- No-one really smiling and expressing a sense of joy.

Date: 2003-07-03 03:15 pm (UTC)Margaret will actually be called Donna or Sally
Ann Summers will be featured
A dominatrix will explain that her male clients 'just can't ask their wives for this sort of thing'
There will be a pair of young pierced lesbians with foreign accents, because they've been in the last dozen telly progs on anything to do with sex
That Alex bloke with the bullwhips
Lots of overtanned people in their 40s with dyed hair (her) or toupee (him) who have been swingers and now go to Torture Garden
Obligatory students who say 'It's just a bit of fun, innit'
Everyone else will take it very very seriously and earnestly

Date: 2003-07-03 03:36 pm (UTC)The transexual school-mistress seemed nice, though, and didn't seem to be putting on a face for the cameras quite as much as doms on such programs do.

Date: 2003-07-03 03:54 pm (UTC)We got the male-dom female-sub couple, but they were *much* better than I'd feared - not especially good looking, but charming and coming across as competent, serious players, not too cheesy. I liked them.
We got a TS woman (though I don't think it was mentioned that she was TS) and Alistair's job was as dull as we'd predicted Master Doug's would be. The cheesy dom was more cheesy than I dared fear. Bets taken on where she's from - Darlington?
- Detailed coverage of a fetish that no-one we know does - fair play to them, they had the decency to cover a fetish that's actually fairly common.
- Someone who runs a sex shop showing you their crap handcuffs in a very annoying voice - thankfully not!
- Voiceover by a crap psychologist - thankfully not!
- A tame, lame stage show, possibly featuring some very half-hearted girl-on-girl action - thankfully not!
- No really good-looking people who are not in the sex industry - check!
- No queers, apart from maybe some women who swing - check!
- No switches - check!
- No-one really smiling and expressing a sense of joy. - thanks to Liz and Chris for confounding my expectations here!
Overall slightly better than I'd feared, but still essentially being "the usual crap".Please can we see some young people, good looking people, or switches on these programmes sometime please?

Date: 2003-07-04 01:09 am (UTC)Er... is there something I should know about my hometown ? Is it noted for bad doms ? (Unless it was just an accent thing - I missed the program...)
