5282 Season 2: Ep. 6
05th August 2024
George Lazenby, Video Nasties
Published: Monday, August 5, 2024
In this episode we firstly go through the extraordinary career of actor George Lazenby. You may know he was James Bond in just one film, before famously walking away. But what else did he appear in, and did he regret never returning as the worlds most famous secret agent (sorry Smiley).
Then we chat about an infamous moral panic in the UK - the threat, real or imagined, posed by Video Nasties. An instructive episode in recent UK history, and a pointer to the culture wars dogging us now.
