Hi all,

I'm going to try and contribute a bit more to this forum from now on, to give you all a way to talk directly to TAC. I won't be spamming, just giving you the low-down from the inside.

For those of you who already watch TAC you'll be pleased to know that we will be broadcasting from 11pm as of 1st May, and on some nights you will get a premiere at 11 and at 12!

Also we filmed The Big Bang yesterday, a 40 girl orgy! It was crazy but thanx to Big Jim everything ran smoothly and we got some excellent footage. I'll not reveal too much about the programme yet, as it won't air for a while, but suffice to say it's going to be unlike anything you've seen before on TAC. And no that's not a fake "big-up", I mean it.

We've also got a new, totally re-vamped SXTV style show coming back later in the year with loads of interaction. Haven't completely worked out the format yet, but it's going to be much more down and dirty without the Playboy-esque fluffery.

In the mean time if any of you have any requests for programmes or specific girls you think we should be focussing on then please reply to this post or e-mail me directly.

Oh and hi Woodgnome, it was good to meet you yesterday.

Thank you,
Dave Cooke
Head of Programming
The Adult Channel
Playboy TV UK Ltd.

Dave where is my beer,
Welcome to the forum. This is the biggest and best forum on the UK scene. The guys here are top class and I am sure you will get loads of enquires. Take the rough with the smooth and good luck.
The all new Fuck Truck script starts production first week in May.
Speak to you soon call me about bikes.

Phil McCavity.

hi dave,

the pleasure was all mine, believe me!

11pm is great but what we really need is some day time television that's worth watching! what could be more civilised than the lunchtime edition of neighbours, followed by michelles slut search? as long as it doesn't clash with diagnosis murder, though!

i'd also like to say a mega thanx to big jim for inviting me and the rest of crew at the adult channel - ali, anna, richard, situl - for welcoming the least interesting person on 'the big bang' set. it was a pleasure to see just how much you all enjoy your work. it can't be easy!

tamara - it was a treat to meet you! you're a credit to your county (and mine). may you're cream always be clotted!

cathy - you're as warm and lovely in person as i imagined you to be. hope you got the car back in time!

as a neutral observer (yeah, right), i can say that mr cooke does not exaggerate. it was a remarkable sight to behold and should make for a fantastic show. i hereby predict that 'the big bang' will be the best selling r18 dvd in history and that big jim is well on his way to a bafta nomination (british acadamy of filming tits and arse).

cheers everyone,

woodgnome

Hi Woodgnome,

Thanks for for coming to the shoot, it was really nice to put a face to a name and I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Can I just say a massive thank you to everyone involved in 'The Big Bang', it really was a team effort and I couldn't have done it without you. The models, the studio, everyone at TAC, etc.

Some of the girls who attended (and did a fantastic job) are -

Cathy Barry, Michelle Thorne, Elen Cole, Tamara Noon, Laura Jones, Sammy Jayne, Carri Lee, Valencia Diaz, Kelle Marie, Michelle Barratt, Stephanie Grant, Angel Long, Blaze Gordon...the list goes on and on.

I apologise for not naming everyone, but suffice it to say, every girl at the shoot worked really hard and they were all superbly professional and patient on what was an incredibly long and insane day.

Cheers,

Big Jim

Glad to see TAC want to hear what we punters want. Here's a few recommendations.
For God's sake stop showing the same bleedin useless American lesbian films every Tuesday and Thursday, some of these No Man's Land crap must have been on a hundred times. One lesbian night a week will do very nicely thankyou.
More programmes like those produced by InExcess Europe, ie Panties and Uniforms. These are the most explicit on the box at the moment and we want more! A word here too for Big Jim who makes the best all girl stuff.
Instruct all your programme makers to produce programmes that are as hard as is allowed. Things are getting better on TAC, but programmes like Indoor Girls still show nothing stronger than we can see on Channel 5. If these producers keep on churning out crap get rid of them.
Commision as many British produced programmes as possible. Nobody subscribes to TAC to watch to watch shitty softcore American films. More European stuff would be ok though, some of The Blow Me Baby early stuff was good.
Lastly, for now, a purely personal request. Please do whatever it takes to get Rebekah Teasdale on TAC. I'm sure you could persuade her to do a lessie programme or two, the thought of her and Laura Jones together would be wonderful.
Thanks again for being willing to listen, i'm sure you'll get a massive feedback. All that 'WE're British owned so we know what you want' propaganda from TelevisionX is total crap.
Cheers ,Wolfie.

Thanx for you comments Wolfie,
and I'm pleased to say that I'm one step ahead of you already. I cut the Tuesday Lesbian night as of May and I'm trying to buy in some European Lesbian films to use on Thursdays.

I've just commissioned two new series from InExcess which will go on air from June (following Superstud which is on at present).

As hard as allowed - I will be putting a lot of my time in with producers this year to really focus on getting the hardest shots possible without breaking the rules.

The very soft prorgamming like Inside Girls is coming off-air very soon, and I have not re-comissioned. Although I do get some letters from the more older generation who love the slow pace of the programmes. Still, I realise that it looks a little dated now and doesn't quite fit in with everything else we are doing.

American films - I agree, although again some people do like them as previous "Film Night's" have shown through our subs numbers. I am trying to gradually replace them with UK or European content.

And your personal request - Rebekah Teasdale - I believe she may have quit the business now, but I do see her popping up in the papers still and they look like new shots. Don't think she wants to do the girl/girl side of things any more though. However the good news is that she is in an episode of Sam Gets Her Girl with the lovely Sammy-Jayne, probably the only lesbian scene she has done, and strangely enough I'm showing it on Tuesday 23rd April.

Again, thank you for taking the time to reply. Yes we may not be British owned but I sure am, and I know what our customers want because I ask them!

Cheers Dave C, glad to hear all of the above. If you need a Deputy Head of Commissioning then please send me an application form. Cheers ,Wolfie.

I've subscribed on and off to the adult channel for a few years now. There have been some real improvements in that time and I'm glad to see things are moving forward. I have some suggestions/comments and a couple of questions, if you'll indulge me...

**MATERIAL**
Whilst respecting that your budget may not allow for this, new films wouldn't go amiss. You do show an awful lot of repeats. That was my main reason for switching to TVX (who I'm temporarily with) - they don't seem to show so many. The UK based stuff you commission is top notch. 'Extreme Dreams' and 'Search for a Slut' is some of the best programming to come out of the adult channel in months, and not just because Ms Thorne is so good when she's on form... it's raw, daring with its camera shots, and it's different. The imported films tend to be on the weak side, almost couple material - is that the intention? Soft cuts (if they exist) of more 'raincoat' material might go down well.

**GIRLS**
You have lost and gained several girls recently - Chloe seems to have dissapeared and Natasha Vale has departed the industry I understand - yet Elen and Georgina appear to have risen from their own series to become AC girls in their own right. I think you market them really well, and it helps set you apart from the competition, whose girls are far less distinguishable.

Ho hum, my mind has gone blank for now...

So what happens to Playboy? Does that get pushed back an hour earlier or do we lose an hour?
Will the earlier start time be reflected across all broadcasters or just Sky?
Is the "no breasts before 8pm and no other explicit nudity until after 10pm" a self-induced censorship or are you trapped by the law on this one?

Thanks in advance


Matt
