Year of the Sex Olympics, The (1968)
Running Time: 1:43:10
Language: English
Quality Rating: B
Full Screen, Black & White
No Subtitles
Directed By: Michael Elliott
Starring: Leonard Rossiter, Suzanne Neve, Tony Vogel, Brian Cox, Vickery Turner
Set in a future when the world is dominated and run by television and all "tensions" - love, war, hate, loyalty - have been removed. Overpopulation is a problem, so there are gluttony programmes to put people off food and pornography programmes to put them off sex. There is artsex and sportsex, and now this - the year of the Sex Olympics. Audience attention begins to wane, however, until TV executive Ugo Priest works on a new concept - a reality-based programme in which a couple is stranded on a bleak island, without the aid of any modern technology, and their efforts to survive filmed twenty-four hours a day. A concept which may sound familiar in the age of reality TV.
This program originally aired as an episode of the British TV-series "Theatre 625".
