Crumpet: a Very British Sex Symbol

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

From James Bond to Carry On, Man about the House to Hammer horror, British glamour girls were increasingly a feature of film and TV during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Sunday Sport editor Tony Livesey recalls this 30-year fascination with saucy sirens. What does it say about the British sense of humour and our changing attitude to sex? One-time glamour girls Barbara Windsor, Honor Blackman, Madeline Smith and Wendy Richard help get to the bottom of the phenomenon.
