Programme on SM, ITV, 11pm

[ciphergoth]

11.00-11.30pm, ITV London: Pleasure Seekers. People who enjoy sado-masochism talk about their passion including a couple who road-test a new whip.

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.

And I would really love to be wrong about this sort of thing!

My bets:
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
