The Channel 5 program last night did say that it was difficult to get established doll owners to open up in public, as you'd expect.
On the program we had:
1) A guy with some elf dolls.
2) A new company trying to create TPE dolls based on pornstars. Never seen them before. They seemed to be out of their depth.
3) A guy who was trying to have sex with a doll for the first time. He threw the poor doll around a lot!
4) A doll brothel in Europe somewhere, where a girl tried out a male doll for the first time and wasn't impressed.
5) Galmato Haven were shown repairing RealDolls in the USA.
6) Brick Dollbanger showing videos of him and Harmony and other RealDolls.
7) Brief appearance of the CEO of Abyss who make RealDolls, who talked a bit about robot dolls.
What I thought was missing was any representation of the deep affection and care (love maybe?) that a lot of us have for our dolls.
The guy with the elf dolls was maybe the only one who seemed to actually care for his dolls.
So personally I was a bit sad after watching the show.
Is a pretty fair call.
Me personally, OK, it could have been a lot worse, but could have been more accurate for the hobby as a whole. So sure, this is what we can expect, if we do not partake in these docos, but then the risk of mis-editing and misrepresentation is a valid concern.
Agreed, too little focus was on the bond and companionship of dolls, (only a brief closure section focus on Mr Elf Doll owners,introduced earlier on, no name IAW ROC, only alias, and lovely girls to BTW!) and I think they missed the whole photographic model, dolls out and about and companion aspect of the hobby, that would have added better balance, rather than the over exposed pornographic interactions, sure show a bit, but not every 5 minutes and as much of it.
That said..Fuck , Plus one for Brick...you are a doll banging machine man!...and double plus's for Harmony "Brick I have not been fucked like that since high school". That cracked me up, as a bloke who has spent a few hours with harmony as well! (yes that was ripped footage, edited in.)
I am a tad gripey about the voice morphs portraying a creeper dude voice..yes, voice morphs do that, but really 6 semitone, is ridiculous (from a bloke who knows some stuff about about audio and music).
That said, maybe I should have stuck my hand up and got them to pay Lily and me a visit down under, now that would have been something (absolutely Hilarious actually), and they would not have to balls about with VOX audio morph drops too much , but then again, no way UK censors would have let the She Devil do her thing on TV
Galmato Haven and Abyss were represented reasonably well and came accross as very professional, woulld have been nice to see more current footage used from the Abyss vaults though!
There was some interesting footage, but the production writer IMHO has missed the point , and it was clear to me that the company owners portrayed as the "experts" grabbed the business exposure opportunity by the horns, and why not...free advertising, and they came out of it reasonably well off. So well done for putting your hands up to represent.
As for :Anna" in the Finish Doll Brothel...my gals would like to know if she wants to play with all of Us.... ..and KIKI also presented very well!
So that is my quick spin on it.
it could have been far worse, and the press and media rarely portrays it spot on anyhow after editing.

Anung, thanks for posting this for people to see.
This was a disappointing documentary.
Looks like Samara and I dodged a bullet.
They interviewed us for this thing over the phone and said they would try to get to us after they went to California, then we never heard from them again.
Good thing!
I would hate to be associated with that trash piece.
The guy with the elf dolls was cool.
And the segments with Brick were good as well.
The lady making the dolls was very annoying. Pioneer my ass.
There was some good stuff here, but all together, not a good representation of what dolls are about or what they mean to most of us.
And, I think they overdid the porn angle. Seemed kinda like a sexploitation film.
Damn! Hope someone does a documentary at some point that is more accurate and represents us better.
