The Problematic Gaze
Join Lee and Dave for lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture of yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. Should they be 'cancelled' or celebrated? What can we learn from them? Does the mention of 'Mrs Slocombe's pussy' send you into hysterical laughter or moral outrage? Or are you just as confused as us as to how we should feel? Perhaps a glass of wine would help?

The Problematic Gaze
Ep 8: "Carry On Girls" from 1973. Man In A Frock, Bikini Wrestlers and Itching Powder.
Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week we delve into the world of 'Carry On' films with Carry On Girls from 1973. Harmless saucy fun? Feminist classic? Hmmm...... Where can we buy a swanee whistle?
Also, just where did Bananarama film the video for 'Cruel Summer? Spontaneous nightclubbing. And Dave's Madonna nightmare.
You can watch Carry On Girls in ITV X in the UK. Or rent it from iTunes.
Click here to watch "Miss World 1970 Beauty Queens and Bedlam", a documentary about feminists storming the stage at the Miss World pageant in London, in protest against the objectification of women.
