C4: What's the affect of the sexualized world on young adults? PDF Print E-mail
The News - Events
channel 4 logoI'm writing from a television production company called Cheetah TV - we are the specialist factual arm of Endemol UK. We are currently making the second series of the critically acclaimed and groundbreaking Channel 4 series, The Sex Education Show. The first series, which aired earlier this year, attracted 3 million viewers and gained plaudits from both health and education professionals with its fun but factual approach to sex education aimed at teenagers and adults alike.

As I'm sure you are aware, the UK has the highest levels of STIs and teenage pregnancy in Europe; set against this backdrop, the second series of The Sex Education Show will focus on the unprecedented prevalence of sex and pornography in today's mainstream culture and examine how this relatively recent phenomena affects us in terms of our sexual health and relationships. We are particularly interested in the affect of this highly sexualized world on teenagers and young adults. This high-profile Channel 4 series will run over four episodes on four consecutive nights (Monday to Thursday) at 9pm in the final week of March 2009.

XXY PDF Print E-mail
Features - Arts Reviews

ImageTackling the turbulent developments in terms of sexuality often provides a perfect backdrop for a gripping film.  However, with XXY, released on September 15th the coming of age drama has been taken further and explores the complexities of intersexuality.  In its main character of Alex, played with real sensitivity by Argentinian Ines Efron, XXY looks at how appearances are deceiving; Alex is a hermaphrodite.  Richly layered in its observations of family life and the stresses that such biology can put on parent daughter, parent son relationships XXY is a powerful film that must be seen to be fully appreciated.

This text will be replaced

Released on October 3rd, Brideshead Revisited is set to retell one of the most famous stories for a generation not aware of the famous series starring Jeremy Irons.  Brideshead Revisited is an evocative and poignant story of forbidden love and the loss of innocence, set in pre-war England when privileged aristocracy fell into decline.  The story begins in1925 at Oxford, when Charles Ryder (Matthew Goode) is befriended by the louche and flamboyant Sebastian Flyte (Ben Whishaw), son of Lord Marchmain, and is quickly seduced by an exciting new world of money, glamour and outrageous behaviour. When he is invited to “Brideshead” the Flyte family’s magnificent ancestral home, Charles becomes infatuated with Julia (Hayley Atwell), Sebastian’s beautiful sister. But as Charles’s emotional relationship with the Marchmain family deepens, he finds himself continually at odds with their deepest family bond, that of their overpowering Catholic faith.
