The Jam Factory were contacted by a TV production company (KMFilms) making a program for Channel 4, and in turn they contacted us, wanting to feature the exhibition and some of the artists in their show. We ( a few of the exhibition artists and myself ) were told that the show was going to be “a bit like the One Show” and there would be an arts feature.
The presenter had bright white fluffy hair, a luminous patterned shirt, and pink trousers. During the interviews, he didn’t withhold from making things up. And appeared to have breakdowns which required pills. His name was “Brian Bedonde”.
Alas, what was pitched to us as a serious art slot in a major program was in fact a pilot for a video version of Fonejacker. Needless to say none of those invovled in the exhbition were prepared to sign releases, and we have explicitly withdrawn any consent for the footage of us to be featured. Feeling slightly miffed to have wasted the time.
