What got me was this: the pornstar cast are clearly having genuine sex - yet thanks to our hopeless censorship laws both they and the programme's editors are forced to perform a bizarre game of muckypup peek-a-boo as they do so. It's OK to see an erect penis, apparently, but you can't see it penetrating anything... Cunnilingus is shown in fairly explicit detail, while blowjobs are hidden behind cupped hands or strategically-posed thighs... It's like an orgy that can't decide how rude it wants to be. These regulations seem inherently pointless, like the American public drinking law that leads winos to swig cans of beer from within brown paper bags. Yet since the show is broadcast on a restricted-access post-watershed channel requiring PIN code entry (and a payment) to view, then who, precisely, are we protecting? More recently, Michael Winterbottom's 9 Songs (which features more real sex than most marriages) was broadcast uncut on Sky Box Office (another PIN-restricted service). They are much much harder than Television X but still endless repeats and of course not hardcore. 2) Blue Movie Extra - seems to me to be essentially the same as the above channel . On one hand, Spice does seem to have the best picture quality, but not that far ahead of Dorcel TV.
