Dutch reality TV goes all the way
By Jon Henley
September 23, 2005

The country that unleashed the reality TV show Big Brother on an unsuspecting world has taken reality television a step further: a late-night Dutch talk show whose presenters will take drugs and engage in sex acts on air, then discuss their experiences afterwards.

The live Spuiten & Slikken show - which can be translated either as Inject & Swallow or Ejaculate & Swallow - starts on October 10 on the Dutch youth channel BNN, which last upset viewers with a program entitled This is How You Screw.

"We're not setting out to shock, but to inform," said a show producer, Sjoerd van den Broek. "The idea is to treat these subjects like a piece of theatre - to review them, if you like. There's been endless chat about these matters, but never an adult critique."

The main presenter, Filemon Wesselink, 26, is billed to go on a pub crawl, take heroin in the form of a pill, and try LSD at home on the sofa under the watchful eye of his mother. He will also retire into a locked room and try to establish whether oral sex is better when performed by a man or a woman.

Meanwhile his co-presenter, Ties van Westing, will interview both Wesselink and guests about their sexual and/or narcotic practices. "We just want to explain really clearly what all this stuff actually does to you," Mr Van den Broek said.

News of the show has caused a fuss even in the liberal Netherlands. "This is dangerous and sets a bad example," a spokesman for the governing Christian Democrat party told the Associated Press. A Justice Ministry spokesman said parts of the show were "probably illegal", but it was not yet clear whether anyone could be prosecuted.
