Saucy: Secrets of the British Sex Comedy on SBS Viceland and SBS on Demand – Saucy! reveals how the wave of 1970s British sex comedies, with their blend of X-rated content and slapstick humour transformed the nation’s cinema and attitudes to sex forever.
Pushing at the boundaries of censorship to put boobs on screen and get bums on seats, titles like Adventures Of A Taxi Driver and Come Play With Me arguably saved the British film industry from financial ruin.
The films’ unique combination of double entendres and X-rated content helped transform the way Brits viewed sex and drew audiences in the hundreds of thousands.
Film producers, directors and stars of these uniquely British productions recount the glory days and less savoury aspects of the industry – from queues around the block and breaking box office records to the grim realities of the casting couch.
