Comments on Episode 8

No apologies from me for the gratuity of the opening scene of this episode. This is after all what a vast part of the male population and a significant part of the female population of the world wanted to see. It was an even bigger internet scene than Kate and her co-star’s bottoms in my “Pride and Prejudice”. Yes we had already shown a brief flash of Selena’s perfect arse but to show them all in the style of a Playboy video was something to be watched over and over any again.

Then there was the subsequent sex scene and the masturbation as the Brigata. Needless to say Selena and Ariana required a great deal of coaching and coaxing. I actually wondered whether I should have fucked them for their audition because when confronted with the reality of what they were doing they got quite scared. Masturbation is one thing but sex with someone for money, which one could argue is what they were doing, is very different. It helped that it was Jason who was able to assure them it was just a job and to be professional. It was also a considerable advantage that the girls were so close.

Jacqui, Monica and Aria also counselled them through this difficult time, including when they both fled the set after Jason’s knob met their anuses. Still I am very proud of them because the transition from Disney princess to Bigun pornstar must have been traumatic. It would have been easier to move them towards that more gently via an HBO show and then one of my slightly tamer British productions. However my initial instinct was right and now I knew they were up for almost anything. I think we all enjoyed the in-joke when the 2 Brigata fled the hill.

Female domination was an aspect hinted at in the original text as the abbess almost keeps the gardener as prisoner but we thought that the flagellation scene was especially appropriate as it was performed as what the S&M community call a “Florentine flogging”. Of course Jason and Monica enjoyed it. It was not the first time she had played a dominatrix. I decided that the golden shower scene was in context and since the 2 big stars were willing, we would have been stupid to turn down even more publicity. I can assure you Monica’s back passage was spotless when he ‘cleaned’ it and we did not even show a brown tongue, whatever Ed’s accompanying words were. I know Jason would have tasted Monica’s shit given the opportunity, but there are boundaries we were not willing to cross.

This was a very strong candidate for a series finale but that would have meant we would not quite have the impact of Selena’s big entrance and she had a lot of work in the upcoming episodes.
