Description
Doing Rude Things: The History of the British Sex Film was first published in 1992. It was the first serious study of British soft porn, and it was highly influential. It was filmed by BBC TV in 1995 and led to the film seasons, video releases and blogs on the subject that have continued to the present day. The 25th-anniversary edition, to be published in 2017 is vastly expanded and updated with new chapters, design and illustrations. It brings the story of British prudishness and censorship bang up to date.
