Playboy One

I was channel-surfing downwards on Sky a lttle earlier when, expecting the next press of a button to take me to the start of 'A Room With A View' on More4 +1, I nearly choked on my drink when I was greeted with a rather explicit (and very loud) bondage session.

It seems Playboy have gone and launched a free-to-air "adult" channel on 287 - though presumably not quite as "adult" as what you get on the subscription-based channels.

I think this is an interesting idea - what with ever-relaxing censorship laws, adult entertainment could stand to make a fortune through mainstream advertising on free-to-air channels.

(Apologies if this is old news, but nobody seems to have mentioned it, and I would say it is quite a significant development in UK television).

Yeeeeeeessss. You found it by accident. Wink

I doubt very much it was "explicit".

But then I'm hard to shock.

Of course not! - but it's the idea behind the channel that is new.

We've had the likes of sleazy late-night television on Bravo and Men & Motors for years - and who can forget the ORIGINAL L!ve TV on analogue cable.
But this is a dedicated adult channel.

OK then, forgive my child-like excitement....




But it's PLAYBOY!!!!!!

I was surprised a few years ago when living briefly in Germany at the number of relatively hard-core porn channels available FTA. They appear to have a very liberal attitude to censorship Shocked Shocked

Did you enjoy it then?


Surely even if it is free, it should be in the adult section rather than amongst channels such as More4+1.

After all, the premium and free sport and movies channels are in the same sections.

You will find in most of Europe, they take a very liberal attitude to porn! Wink
