    1 9 9 6 (UK)
    60 minute episodes

    Debuting on Valentine’s Day 1996, this sex-themed quiz show aired on ITV in the wee hours of the morning and was hosted by Maria McErlane and Graham Norton (bet he leaves this one off his CV these days!)

    Couples answered graphic questions about their sex lives to win lamentably poor prizes.

    It wasn’t very good (even for one o’clock in the morning) and made for uncomfortable viewing as the couples often visibly squirmed as they answered very personal questions.

    Male contestants would sit and gaze into the middle distance and female contestants would blush redder and redder as their partners described their intimate secrets in gynaecological detail.

    Recorded against a stark white background with a few cardboard props, it was post-pub British TV at its worst.
