Tanterella!!

The last couple of months have been fun, and i am sorry to see this most recent of jobs come to an end.

I have been working for almost all of Feb and March for a Japanese production company called Moritigamu Cell 1, who make a series of Japanese gameshows and reality shows. We have spent the last 8 weeks following 6 Japanese couples (and one Korean couple) who had been sent to the UK, with the basic task of getting a job.

Once established in the job, the contestants are given a series of ‘dares’ to complete. the first few centred around cultural and language misunderstandings - using the wrong toilet, eating someone elses food from the fridge, wearing trousers with the buttocks cut out to a work drinks do.

However the next round of dares cranked the jeopardy up - i cant give too much away but if you would like to see a woman dressed as a large penis try to initiate intimate relations with an office worker in the photocopier room, only to be caught by a horrified man dressed as a vagina and the resulting erotic fight on the floor of the office (watched by most of the office in a mixture of horror and amusement) then do tune into Tsukuba channel sometime later this year.
The crew were mostly Japanese, and were an absolute pleasure to work with - talented, professional and with hilarious taste in clothes and English food. Domo arigato to Ryouta, Tsubasa, Akane and Kouhei!
