Have your videos(and kleenexes)at the ready! This enthralling Russian film, detailing the development of flagellant pornography in late Tsarist St. Petersburg, is at last being shown on terrestrial TV. To be precise at 02.25 hours on Monday June 30th until 03.55 on Channel 4 (programming code 1629905). Contains strong bare bottoms from the outset.

Thank you very much, 47David, for alerting our members.

Stills from the film, which will appeal to lesbianators and other lovers of F/F, are on display at:

It’s sure to be cut. Channel 4 is notorious for editing, as we in the film business call it. Look at how it’s ruined the brilliant comic timing of Richard Whiteley.

I thought it was going to be a really super week for fladge on the tele when I read in the ‘Radio Times’ that ‘Love Crimes’ is to be shown on Saturday 28 June at 22.55. I have changed my mind, however, since visiting

http://sfrsite.topcities.com/love.htm

where there is a warning of an edited version.

I was further disappointed when I saw that the film is being shown on Channel 5. The ‘Snow Channel’ is not available to us poor sods on the South Coast.

Hmm ... hadn't come across this one. I see from the topcities site that she gets 22 smacks. I see also that the director is Lizzie Borden - didn't she give her mother 40 whacks and her father 41? Maybe there is an even more unedited version somewhere?

The many lovers of corporal punishment that frequent this board [Friends Reunited Discussion] will be delighted to learn that the film ‘Of Freaks and Men’ is being shown on Channel 4 at 02.25 tomorrow. There is still time to stroll down to Mr. Patel’s to buy a box of Kleenex.

Dear Colin,Yes, but to flagellation lovers such as myself and Marie that kind of thing is most unpleasant.

Marie, you're even more perverted than I am. If I didn't know you were a man, I'd be very shocked.
Hugs and fuggs,Gillian

Synopsis please?

I met Kathryn Hepburn only once. I had invited myself to tea with her at the Hyatt Hotel in Birmingham where she was staying while filming ‘Of Freaks and Men’. Set in Russia in 1900, this tour de force was actually shot around the canals and suburbs of Birmingham. The technique, known as ‘transmutation of location’ was pioneered by my father, Leslie Norman, who in 1960 filmed ‘The Long and the Short and the Tall’ (a movie portraying the life and death of British soldiers in the Malaysian jungle during World War Two) in somebody’s overgrown back garden in Rotherham. Ms. Hepburn sat spellbound as I told her this and I saw her eyes glaze over in admiration.

How then, I asked her, did she rate all those films she made with Bob Hope? I was surprised to learn that he is still alive. Like many of the Hollywood greats, I met him only once and did not warm to him. He was in London to ridicule the lesbians who had decided to disrupt the 1970 Miss World Contest of which he was to act as compere. Over afternoon tea he told me a joke that no one would want to listen to nowadays about the Dover Ferry.

Was Audrey a great actor? Maybe not that – but he was a thoroughly decent man. And who now will take her place as the Queen of Comedy? My money’s on Shirley Ann Field.
