I been contacted by Ian Parton, he works for a Brighton based TV production company called Electric Sky.

He looking for help with a programme idea he's am developing.

Last year UK TV aired a series called ‘My Transsexual Summer’ which was largely met with a warm reception from viewers, the transsexual community and those who contributed to the series. Our series ‘My Transsexual Wedding’ would aim to continue the respectful and un-sensationalist tone of ‘My Transsexual Summer’ but focus on couples – one of whom has undergone or will undergo a gender affirmation procedure – who are planning to marry.

The programme would offer a portrait of the day to day challenges the couple experiences, the perception of their forthcoming marriage by the outside world and it would tell their life stories. The arrangements of the wedding and the day itself would offer a nice framework around which to tell these stories. Ultimately the series is celebratory as, well, marriages are a time of celebration.

I appreciate the transgender community often are, quite rightfully, suspicious of their representation in the media but I believe this series would have a positive effect. If the programme gets made aim to work closely with Trans Media Watch http://www.transmediawatch.org/ to get its tone as well balanced as it can be.

Are you, or do you know anyone is planning to marry and would be interested in discussing the programme further.
