Funny TV Story...
I once made a property show for Channel 4. I was halfway through editing a show about this young couple who wanted to buy a property in Portugal. Every property they saw they were only concerned about if the house was 'overlooked,' 'can the neighbours see us'

'We're very private,' etc. This was fine, some people just love their privacy.
So one night I was at home and the future Mrs. Sting went to bed and as I got up to get another brandy the TV remote control fell on the floor and somehow Television X came on my TV (I'm as shocked as
So one night I was at home and the future Mrs. Sting went to bed and as I got up to get another brandy the TV remote control fell on the floor and somehow Television X came on my TV (I'm as shocked as
you are). So just for educational purposes, I started watching and I looked at one of the girls and thought, 'I recognise her,' which was difficult because she was upside down at the time and for one reason or another much of her face was concealed. When she finally became
the right way round it hit me where I'd seen her before, I was hoping she was an ex-girlfriend, but no. She was the woman I was editing in the property show. No wonder they wanted a secluded, hidden house, they wanted to make porn in it and they were using a Channel 4 show to
find it.
So now I had a dilemma. Do I ignore the fact that I know she's a porn star or do I come clean (so to speak).
I went into the office the next day and walked straight into the boss's office. She looked up and said, 'Yes?'
'We may have a problem,' I said.

I went into the office the next day and walked straight into the boss's office. She looked up and said, 'Yes?'
'We may have a problem,' I said.
'What,' she said.
'There's no good way to say this,' I said. 'But, the couple I am editing are porn people.'
'They're what?' she said.
'Porn people,' I blundered on. 'They do porn things, sex and whatnot, she's a porn star.'
'How do you know?' She said.

'How do you know?' She said.
That was an excellent question. Of all the questions I was expecting I hadn't really considered that one.
So I told her about my faulty remote control and how I was going to get it fixed.
'Do you have any evidence?' she said.

'Do you have any evidence?' she said.
'Oh yes!' This one I was particularly proud of at that moment, 'I recorded it.' I said.
She stared at me for a moment.
'You recorded it?'
'Yes,' I said.
'Okay, can you bring it in?'
Again, I hadn't expected this.
'Yes,' I said, reluctantly.
She stared at me for a moment.

'Yes,' I said.

'Yes,' I said, reluctantly.
So the next day I went into my office with a recording of some porn in my pocket.
When I entered the boss's office she was stood there with the female series producer. They had set up a TV in the middle of the room.
'Shall we begin?' I said as if it was some kind of porn party.

It's not often you get to watch porn publicly and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I inserted the tape, which in itself seemed slightly erotic, and pressed play.
The image came on of a lesbian scene as the three of us watched in silence for a moment.

Then one of the women turned to me and said.
'Can you mute it.'
'Oh yes!' I said diving for the remote.
We all continued to watch it, occasionally saying, 'Is it her?' 'I can't see, I wish that other woman would get out of the way,' 'She pulls some funny faces, doesn't she.'

After watching for a few more minutes one of the women said.
'I think we've seen enough.'
I turned it off and we all stared at each other. I felt something needed to be said so I offered.
'I feel like we've all just bonded.'
This was met with more silence.

A decision was made and the episode went out. Nobody noticed, nothing was said and the world spun on.
In the end, it turned out that if I'd just kept my mouth shut then nothing would have happened, unlike the pornstar I was watching. Damn that faulty remote!!
