Episode 3 of “The Nasty Cast: A Video Nasties Podcast” is now live

Welcome back to The Nasty Cast.

In the early 1980s a battle began over the nation’s viewing. The home video market was booming, and the unsatiable demand was met by a sudden influx of cheap, often explicit and violent films.

In Episode 3 we take a look at the campaigners and press who stepped up to try and stop the invasion of filth into our living rooms.

But did they just end up making people want to see these films more? And were the campaigns really about protecting the children, or about control, censorship and trying to return to a more ‘moral’ country that had long since left behind those old-fashioned Victorian values?

You can listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or your podcatcher of choice.
