This England

Published 20 September 1999

Despite the taste for wholesome sex, audiences were not entirely prudish. Citing the ITV series The Grafters, Mr Elliott said that a scene in which actress Eve Pope seductively licks co-star Robson Green's finger in a motorway cafe worked in several ways. Viewers found the location exotic, he said. "They think it's arousing. They like the excitement." - Guardian (Imogen Forster)

A lifelong stammerer, Stephen Hill, 25, endured years of being unable to communicate. He avoided social contact and even bought shoes a size too big because he couldn't say "seven". - The Week (Francis Harvey)
