Never Mind the Bollocks
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007Virgin to air controversial dickumentary on new channel
Virgin 1, the saving grace of Virgin Media, is set to deliver a Freudian death blow to the fragile psyches of the male half of the UK population on its arrival, by broadcasting a one-off primetime documentary entitled ‘Penis Envy’, the makers of which have undertaken a nationwide survey to discover the average UK penis length, girth and have explored the various cosmetic enhancement processes available.
Celia Taylor, director of programming for Virgin 1, said: “Penis Envy will be fascinating, funny, smart and – for some – a real eye opener… [it will] take a really candid look at what is still quite a taboo subject in Britain today and is just the start of what viewers can expect to see on Virgin 1 in the autumn as we bring the very best in bold and clever factual documentaries to the channel.”
The so-called ‘cockumentary’ is being produced by TwoFour Broadcast, who are the people behind the Three Minute Wonders documentaries for Channel 4 and the range of Extreme celebrity programmes for LIVINGtv.
It has also now been confirmed that Virgin 1 will take the place of Ftn, which is owned by Virgin and acts as an opposite number for Sky Three, in that it broadcasts repeats of popular programmes available on the prime Virgin channels.

I have to say that the TVonics products look pretty sexy, especially when compared to the early dull grey set top boxes.
