Whereas I can't really defend TAC for the repeats on this themed weekend, I did find the above threads amusing / strange.
On the one hand people are saying they are tired of seeing the same thing over and over again and then on the other they're asking to see people like Teresa May and Lynda Leigh on the channel again.
In fact Officer Dibble is recommending that you cancel your subscriptions to buy his videos which must have been made nearly a decade ago. And best of luck to him, I've not seen any of them but I'm sure they are really good and have stood the test of time.
As for TAC breaking out their cheque books to hire the models of yesteryear, no amount of money will lure them back.
So instead of the usual sniping or wishful fantasy programmes (e.g. Why don't they show Jordan having full hardcore anal with three black studs, etc.) I think it would be in everyone's best interests if forumites made positive and realistic constructive critiscisms of the channel. That way the top bods at TAC could actually bring about the changes you want to see.
Right I'm orrfff out of it.

I respect Big Jim for the excellent Class Action etc but I don't think either TVX or TAC are offering enough new or varied shows. Stretching out the viewing times has just meant more repeats and crap American films full of plastic breasts and tattoos.
Give us 4 hours of quality girls, more BG and less repeats and I think your viewing figures would leap.
Also a little "pushing the barriers" wouldn't go amiss. I mean do you imagine every single Sky based channel is watched every night by the ITC. There is more offensive rubbish on Sky One or ITV on a Saturday evening!!
Magazines and videos hav ebeen de-restricted, if TAC/TVX show harder stuff and there are few complaints then great. Be honest you have to look for these channels and they are already password protected. I have mates on the Polcie and they couldn't give a monkeys about normal porn, only the sick stuff attracts their attention these days.

I certainly echo Frank's request that TAC print the full schedule for Theme Nights - go on to onthebox.com for a theme night and, as Frank says, all you get is the theme night name.
Re the presenter girls themselves, I think TAC had a top eam last year and the new/current girls are fabulous too. I'm particularly looking forward to Hayley Finch in b/g.
Stronger stuff on TAC/TVX - I'm with everyone on this, but reasonably the channels will and do tell us to get on to the regulator, the ITC.
What would be good is if someone "in the know" could tell us the name and address of the best person in the ITC to write to. I'd certainly be up to doing this and, who know's, with a campaign of letters from forumites, we might be successful.
I can't believe that anyone who accepts TAC and TVX right to broadcast, as almost most people and policymakers do, would be at all bothered by the channels showing consensual b-g sex or clear shots of dildo/finger insertion, given the broadcast time and the subscription-only protection.
But then I and all of us here are biased!!

Hi Big Jim
Havn't seen you post for a while - welcome back if I may be so presumptous.
Dont you agree though that more published information would help people decide whether to tune in or not. If people knew not only that the shows were repeats but which girls are featured then they can watch what they want to watch rather than tune in and take pot luck only to be disappointed if its something that they have seen before.
It might increase viewing figures if people tune in to a repeat that they had missed knowing their fav girl was in it.

I reckon if I had your budget and resources I'd be souring the globe (doesn?t seem to be much scope in Blighty) for something a bit special - a new Sylvia Saint, Mist McCain, Erica Bella, Laura Singer, Aria Giovanni, etc. Something that folks might actually want to shell out to see. Who wants to spend good money on seeing a skinny 'Shazza' down from the chippie on her day off with her bottle blonde, hacked off hairstyle and tattoo on navel and shoulder? Or even '50' Shazza's for that matter. You can see all that (if you want to) for free down at your local 'Mucky Duck' of a Friday evening.

Well said,Officer Dibble-I think it's known in the trade as "scraping the bottom of the barrel"..and we have reached that chalk mark already....go any lower and it comes free with a sick bag.
It is a sad reflection on the English glamour and 'porn' scene.

Thank you all for your constructive comments, they were well thought out and very informative.
Obviously, de-regulation of UK satellite channels (with particular regards to full hardcore) may be some time off, so good suggestions from the forumites about what they'd like to see would surely be welcome.
I know a lot of you would like to see more B/G (which unfortunately isn't within my own particular purview) but the producers and the channel would like to have some more information. Do you want to see gonzo? Big budget? Fetishes? Anal? Threesomes or more? Please help them to help you.
Oh before I forget...Hello Frank. I've not been away, just very busy but I still find time to lurk around in here from time to time. But thank you for welcoming me back anyway.
P.s. Naughty by Nature starts on Thursday. Oooh I'm shameless me.
Cheers,
Big Jim

Thanks Big Jim
Did you see Valencia on her Presenter interview say that Drunken Lesbo Sluts was her favourite shoot? Apparently you you really did get her drunken!

Indeed Prof, and did you note that Big Jim didn?t care to address those specific issues?

I think a lot of people are missing the point - if TAC was to show new shows every night (and no repeats) do you really think your subscription fee of 8 quid a month would stay the same?
Look at the price of a porn DVD - ?25 for 2 hours. Even if TAC were only to show one hour of new programmes every night that would be 30 hours. OK maybe they have more subscribers etc but it would still mean quite a considerable hike in the subscription price - would you pay, say, ?25 per month for that?
The hardcore thing is fuck all to do with the guys at TAC - if they could show it they would (and posters from TAC have posted to that effect on this forum before).
Lets face it guys - 8 quid is about 27p per day. You can't buy a frigging newspaper for 27p these day so stop bloody complaining.
This annoys me almost as much as those who complain that the quality of internet porn is going downhill and that they only see the same models yet they wont pay for it. They wont subscribe to sites yet they expect producers and web masters to be able to produce oodles of new content for free week in week out - get a fucking life. This industry is going to die while it is in its relative infancy if people dont start supporting it by opening their wallets and closing their mouths.
