Colour me in: racial diversity in Lip Service

by Devil’s Food Cake

You guys should know – there are perks that come with writing for TMC, one of which is most definitely preview discs. Oh the joy I felt when the first episode of Lip Service popped through my letterbox – it was a pretty sweet feeling. And the premiere of Lip Service this week was pretty exciting too: now that the first season of the Real L Word is over, I’ve been waiting for something gay and trashy … Continue Reading

The BBC today released the results of a mammoth research project focused on the portrayal of lesbian, gay and bisexual people in broadcast media. In what is the largest study ever undertaken by the BBC into LGB portrayal of this kind, over 2,000 people, gay and straight, were involved in in-depth interviews and focus groups, and more than 9,000 people responded to online surveys, the aim being to understand better the reactions of audiences to LGB portrayal in the media and use these results to better LGB representation. … Continue Reading

TMC Investigates… Lip Service

by Sticky Toffee Pudding

So whatever happened to Lip Service: BBC3′s foray into the complex, too often cringe-worthy world of lesbian entanglement? Their promise of a British L Word seems to have drained away over time, much like my respect for Jenny Schechter did circa 2006/2007. (Seriously, she wasn’t THAT bad in season one!) According to their website Lip Service was set to hit our screens in Spring 2010. So what’s going on?
