documentary for Current TV on sex and money

[jimslip]

I suggested such a concept at the last UKAP meeting, can't remember any reaction.

Me & John have been asked to be in many TV shows over the years, the last being Trica's 50th Aniversary show & we always say no.
We remember watching Cathy Barry on a TV show holding her own when being questioned about introducing her neighbour into the industry & thought she was brilliant how she handled the situation, if it had been someone new & wet behind the ears they would have made mincemeat of them. TV shows don't do you any good no matter how much you want to be famous or known to the public.

Trisha wanted me on her show too. I told them never ask me that again. My reasons were a bit more personal mind. They refused permission for me to use someone who had been in the show at my behest.

So I got stroppy about it.

Something makes me shudder big time about being on shows like that and Jeremy Kyle. Its like treading water. You should never expect anything short of a negative response being on shows like those.

Sexcetera was a lot nicer. they sent a playmate over to feature a segment on me. The europeans are more positive as well.

I wouldnt rule out UK TV..Just those day time shows

I used to write most of the Trisha show for the first 18 months, as they used my old agency for models we just used to make up a story pick people and send them to them. that's how much these great people know.

Remember guys NO MONEY NO HONEY.

You contradict yourself, by saying originally you are commissioned by a company, and a few posts later you claim you are a one man band filming off your own back.
Which is it?

As for being upset at the fact people should want paying what else would you expect Why on earth would anyone work for nothing?

People really if you are thinking of doing free TV do not do it. There is no such thing as brilliant publicity for free TV. not unless there going to let us perform a scene live on the next royal variety show.

Vomiting over/being vomited over....uggghh

Sexetera style programs - they seem to get it. I was recently contacted by a similar bunch looking for someone. They had a budget (too low) and listened when I told them to up it, which they did, just enough, and a day later they had details of people interested for the money.

It's not as if people want thousands to appear, just a reasonable fee for their time.

What I mean is, if a girl has a website and by thinking for example, that by going on Trisha is going to get actual members, it won't. Sure, she may be saying to the world, I'm here. But, as our bofgfs have found, when we've done such things, traffic goes up but turning that traffic to members does not work.

Hope you understand that, i'm not very good at explaining things.

hi gorgeous.

i think he means both. hes a one man band who has been commissioned to produce a show for a TV company. abit like some of u guys do for TVX or TAC or playboy.
TV companys rarely make there own stuff any more.

Thanks Sandie for clarifying. You are 100% right about what you said. Apart from the BBC and ITV, very little is made by TV channels themselves. What I said therefore is no contradiction. I have been commissioned as a one man band.

[Marino]

Therefore if you are commissioned the commissioning company would have given you a budget, ergh that's how it works.
