I can remember,Debbie,Jane Eyre being on T.V.but i don't remember any spankings,though i did not follow the story faithfully,all the way through.If you are interested,there is a tape available from Amazon.co.uk
which has a spanking:-Alfred Drake/Patricia Morison
version of Kiss Me Kate from 1953,unless the politically correct flies have got to it first and censored the spanking scene.The tape costs about £10.
