TV Documentaries
August 22, 2010 –
I kid you not, I have had 5 people contact me recently regarding taking part in TV documentaries about, well you know what. Watch out for a flood of such programmes in the Autumn folks.
So my answer as always is no, no, no and no. I had one today ask me if my clients would like to be interviewed. ‘Are you totally insane??!!’ I think and then I think again ‘Hang on, this is some 21 year old chick straight out of uni, first research job and all that and I cut her some slack. She did phrase things a tad crassly though and I had to put her straight on that…
She used the word ‘use’ several times as in I am/we are used, us ladies – by men. I took it upon myself to explain that we dont take kindly to that word, just as she wouldnt take kindly to me saying she was ‘used’ as an employee or in any context. Im not into all this PC stuff, but some things, well they just dont sound right.
It has to change you know, this nonsense, this perception that people have. You will say ‘Well you should be part of the documentary then’ But no, these people arent after the truth, my side, they are after salaciousness. Thats business, thats what sells newspapers and what makes people watch TV programmes and therefore gets advertising revenue. I understand that, we all do. I am just not going to be part of it thats all.
