who is britains most powerful

''Power corrupts.Absolute power corrupts absolutely''

Think of the hottest pornstar of the day and that would be the most powerfull person in British porn at any given time, and quite often these girls are not discovered by the big players in porn but by some lowly amateur Fred in the shed type and the big boys just capitalise on it !wink!

Very true Graham. So that must put me on the map somewhere in that I started out a number of girls (and guys) that rose to prominence internationally. Thing is I keep telling them, they got there because of themselves.

But its not always the Fred In The Shed types...I would say a seldom known chap called Nick Field is behind names such as Lacie Maguire, Nikki Jayne and Holly Wellinamongst others.

Thing is apart from the obvious there are many who are not so obvious. I bet no one hear can name me the person who has monopolised on soft porn and became a millionaire for it?

I would say this guy would be worth a mention but he doesnt want to be known. He just likes to go about his business and put the bling on when it is necessary.

Again, its the those who know, know and those who dont, wont tell.

So for arguments sake I would definitely put Paul Raymond at the number one slot because he has real power owning a portfolio of half of Soho. Real power in that he can determine no other competition will set up in that area of London if he wished it. David Sullivan at number two. Harmony at number 3.

People who have power to make stars, strong branding and the ability to crush the opposition and determine prices which lets face it David Sullican indirectly does which is why shops wont buy above ?3.25 per unit unless you are independent and strike deals with other retailers competing agains the DS empire. He has his fingers in various pies you might not even know about.

I agree Terry that does put you on the map and certainly in the top ten, but of course you dont have to be at or near the top to make a fortune out of porn, remember the guy down in Hastings who started the Splosh mags he also made a lot of dosh but can anyone remember his name !wink!

Agree Terry, I too have brought a number of girls into the industry who are now well known international stars, why am i not a millionaire? damm...i knew i should have got em to sign something!
Like you Terry, I believe more in helping them on and "assisting" in their careers, i would not take credit for their being so successfull, that is down to them and their performances, i just invited them around, then locked the door and would not let them out til they did a video! ask Renee Richards, she only came over to ask if i wanted a lap dance, next thing she knew she was doing porn! bless her.
Ive also got a few more "future stars" coming to a dvd player near you very soon...this time i will get them to bloody sign something!

[one eyed jack]

Consider yourself lucky Darren. She only made me tea. You get offered the lap dance! I ask you where the fairness is in that?

She did mention this meeting with you on her interview btw

You still doing shoots where you are now?

[Darren L Morgan]

Yeah, never stop working Terry, you know me. I am out in glorious Asia at the moment. Needed a change of scenery, what better than looking at Asian girls all day long!!!! not only looking......well....i wont go into that, it will be a nice surprise.

[Bicycle Bum]

From say, the criminal underworld, MI5, Mary Whitehouse's ghost, or maybe the old bat is still alive?

The most powerful figures are usually the backers who stay in the shadows as not to taint their other mainstream interests, David Sullivan & Paul Raymond are the most talked about people in terms of power but there are others none of us will ever hear about.
