Fairground Attractions

Talking of ‘windy upskirts’ a reader has emailed me with some memories and some pictures too: When growing up I used to go to the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen once or twice a year, and the thing I loved the most wasn’t all the carousels and stuff, it was standing outside the ghost train where [...]

The Headmistress

Two drama students recreate French and Saunders’ 1990 sketch ‘The Headmistress’. Martyn has been in touch to remind me of yet another connection between Dawn French and spanking. Along with her comedy partner Jennifer Saunders, she did a sketch set in an assembly at a girl’s school. Jennifer plays a cane-wielding megalomaniac headmistress and Dawn [...]

Lessons From Lochgelly

In the aftermath of this summer’s riots in England, there were lots of calls for the return of corporal punishment. In this report from The One Show, screened when the street violence and looting was at its peak, even the BBC seems to be coming over a bit misty-eyed and nostalgic about the days when [...]

Time Shift – Corporal Punishment

An hour long documentary on the history of corporal punishment in Britain that was shown on TV here this week. It includes a section on the sexual fetish aspect of cp, footage of an anti-caning demo which took place in London in the early 1970s, and an interview with a frequently caned schoolgirl. Part One [...]

Carol’s Conundrum

Following on from the current Brit Bot of the Week seems a good moment to post a clip from the days when Carol Vorderman was the Countdown girl. It’s a priceless exchange between Carol and co-host Des Lynam prompted by the word “canes” coming up on the letters board. Her little laugh right at the [...]

Greenwich Village Spank Time

The Pat Boone interview that I posted last week was edited together from two parts. They were used to top and tail the third episode of a BBC documentary called American Dream which covered the 1960s. In between Boone’s traditional values we got an account of alternative versions of the American Dream with lots of [...]

Pat Boone’s American Dream

This video is from a new documentary called American Dream that was shown on TV here last week. One of the contributors was Pat Boone the country singer who spanked his daughters well into their late teens. I’ve uploaded the whole Boone interview but the on topic part, in which he is shown appearing on [...]

Downton Abbey

“Her Laydyship’s big sore bottom” is a search term that was used by someone arriving on this site last week. Presumably the same person also tried his luck with “Her ladyship’s big sore arse” and “Her ladyship’s big sore bum”. It gave me a bit of a chuckle, and I was trying to find something [...]

A Story From South Africa

To tie in with the start of the World Cup, here’s a tale from South Africa which was sent to me by a loyal reader . And may the best team win I was in Johannesburg in 1992 and my boss told me to visit a certain store that sold everything connected to safaris. I [...]

Allo Allo – Resistance Was Futile

“The girls of the Folies Bergere in Paris are traditionally admired, feted and ogled. But when a pretty blonde dancer has a sound spanking back-stage it is a cause for shocked consternation all round. Especially when the dancer whose dignity was outraged is 35-year-old Lydia de Lipski newly awarded the Legion of Honour for her [...]
