I'm no prude but.......

yesterday afternoon I happened to turn on the television and there was the film Carry On Dick.

When it was released in 1974 you had to be over fourteen to watch it in the cinema. It certainly didn't have the saucy seaside humour of the Carry On films of the fifties and sixties.

It contained crude jokes about male genitalia, well it would when the highway man was called Big Dick, but some of the script seemed very adult orientated. There was also lots of couplings, and a brief glimpse of Barbara Windsor's famous assets.

Maybe I'm getting old, but it really did seem a bit inappropriate for Sunday teatime viewing.

What happened to Black Beauty, or dramatising classic children's books?
