The worm that did not turn

The late 70s had a plethora of classic comedy on our screens - some might now make you groan at how awful it was (by today's offerings) or even squirm with embarrassment at the sexist and racist storylines that proliferated. However, as we were trapped in that paradigm we just sat back and laughed along. I hasten to add that now most of us know better. A particular favourite of mine were the Two Ronnies. With my new found interest in fetish I was delighted when the running sketch for the 1979/80 series was chocked full of fetish imagery. The sketch was called "The worm that turned" and the plotline was a future England where woman ruled and men were subservient.

Worm that turned - Episode 1 with the delicious Diana Dors!


Wanda Ventham is looking lovely in this episode.


Very dated but I was fascinated by it back then.
