Synopsis

In this infamous Loose Enz edition, sexologist Rufus (Grant Tilly) has marriage problems due to being more theoretical than practical when it comes to the ways of the flesh. Things get complicated when an eccentric patient, Ernest (Bruno Lawrence), turns up claiming to have a magic touch with women. With Joy of Sex japes and punning pillow talk galore, it’s very much of its time. The (frankly, odd) sex farce gained notoriety for high-profile newsreader Angela D’Audney (as the sexologist’s wife) going full frontal, then into a turquoise catsuit.

Quotes

Perhaps that’s what’s doing it: a build up of your sexual energy, creating a forcefield, like static electricity? 

– Virginia (Angela D’Audney) to Ernest (Bruno Lawrence)

Actually I don’t mind cheese scones ... as long as they’re fresh. 

– Sexologist secretary Phoebe (Joanne Mildenhall) to fantasist patient Ernest (Bruno Lawrence)
