Loose Enz - The Venus Touch

Television (Full Length) – 1982

In this infamous edition of the Loose Enz anthology series, sexologist Rufus (Grant Tilly) has marriage problems, due to being more theoretical than practical when it comes to the ways of the flesh. Things grow more complicated when patient Ernest (Bruno Lawrence, playing nerdy for a change) claims he is suffering from having a magic touch with women. Alongside Joy of Sex japes and punning pillow talk galore, this sex farce gained notoriety for scenes of high-profile newsreader Angela D’Audney (as the dissatisfied wife) going topless, then donning a turquoise catsuit.

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)
