No Job for a Lady - Strange Bedfellows (1991)
Fairly average, well at least compared to Yes Minister, comedy starring Penelope Keith as Jean Price, a newly appointed Labour MP.
This opening, standout episode of series 2, tackles the issue of top shelf porn and how it corrupts our youth. For once Labour and the Tories agree on something - it should be banned...to a certain degree...but only the filth that they don't actually buy themselves. Clearly Gay Times was one to go, as posh Tory George Baker puts it 'There aren't any gay Tories...' well except the one asking for the mag in the newsagent stood next to Jean, but clearly it was 'for a friend who was too embarrassed to ask for it'.
Anyway this was a classic episode of PG rated filth. If you've ever wanted to see Penelope Keith discuss the pros and cons of porn then this is for you. Half an hour of proper laugh out loud moments.
