The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Premium Rate telphone lines....To my shame I worked for a company that supplied these "services".
There were quite a few competitions where "A winner will be randomly selected by computer", bollocks it will, 'twas me stopping the tape recorder at a random point.
One of the tabloids (The mirror I think) had a phone in for racing tips. He was meant to ring in and update the line every morning - one day he didn't so I had to do the mirror racing tips for the day (know bugger all about it!)
The company also produced a mens magazine, well you can guess the sort of content....
I wrote a telephone system so you could call the featured ladies and leave a message on their answer phone.
Of course the pictures in the mag had nothing to do with the people who'd reply to the voicemail....
20 stone chain smoking slappers the lot of them...
length? about 8 months before I had a fit of ethics.
