Moira Returns

 

A fitting conclusion: Moira Mitchell bares her bottom for a good, smart spanking over her land-lord's knee. See this post for further details.

Candy-Stripers

"Running up bills isn't difficult when you're on a student nurse's salary; forgetting to pay your landlord is almost as simple. However, when the rent comes due at the end of the month, £62 - at one pound a stroke - can seem a trifle...exorbitant."

"It's basically a case of pay the rent or out you go bare your bottom! There'll be a 'damned good' spanking first, with tears on the pillow before the cane stretches its chastening fingers across spank-tingling bottom-cheeks!"

From: Blushes Supplement number 1.

Meanwhile, back at the dormitory, freshly-minted candy-stripers are subjected to snap inspections during Matron's rounds (followed by a nice, brisk spanking on the buns by the attending physician). 

 

It appears that nobody gets off scott-free in the UK, even under Great Britain's National Health Service.

Contractual Obligations

Young Moira Mitchell takes a domestic position on an isolated British island, never realizing (until far too late) that her new employer has other plans for her. After moving in, Moira is forced to play a game of penalties which she can't possibly win.

Every time she loses, she must either remove an article of clothing - or go over her landlord's knee for a good, smart spanking. Needless to say, her options become severely limited once she's stripped all the way down to her knickers and stockings...

 

As the game progresses, Moira is forced to bare her bottom for the proverbial spanking of a lifetime, but her troubles don't end there. Now completely subject to her employer's authority, she is required to play game after game, day after day, always  with the same humiliating consequences.

More British "Strips"

British comics at their finest - John M. Burns' Eartha (News of the World, 1982). A recognized veteran whose credits ranged from Modesty Blaise to Judge Dredd, Burns was a master of the female form, never hesitating to kit out his frequently reluctant heroines in stockings and garters whenever the opportunity arose.

Benny Hill: Jane Leeves

While British actress Jane Leeves is best-known for her run as Daphne Moon on NBC's Frasier, she actually started out as an extra on The Benny Hill Show, circa 1982 or thereabouts. In common with many of her Hill's Angels co-stars, she was required to show her knickers in between dance numbers:

Colpo Grosso: Maria

Maria shows us her lacy black lingerie in this short clip from Colpo Grosso. Maria La O was an obvious fan favorite from the very start, giving the impression that she honestly enjoyed herself (even when lip-syncing to a song she clearly didn't know the words to). She's known to have performed "Marina, Marina" at least twice on the show; we'll post the second clip when we manage to track it down.

Colpo Grosso: White Lingerie

Three more videos from the white lingerie collection, featuring Andalusa, Zazi and a few others whose names we haven't been able to track down yet (sorry: fairly low resolution).

North of the Border

For some unknown reason, our northbound cousins didn't start producing sex comedies until the 1980s, but when they did...well, the results were impressive to say the least. Screwballs (1983) and its sequel Loose Screws (1985) contain some memorable lingerie scenes, including a full-blown striptease by Cynthia Belliveau at the climax of the second movie.

While there was very little outright nudity in either film, the directors took the humor as far as they could, having eager young starlets falling out of their clothes as often as the script permitted. The ever-popular faux "medical" examination was put to good use in both movies, as suggested by the screencaps posted below:

 

 

Benny Hill: Elsie

Elsie (Abigail Higgins) is the unwitting 'star' of Benny Hill's 1981 Channel Surfing sketch. Preparing to bed down for the evening, Elsie walks into the living room where newscaster Benny ogles her through the television screen. Nonchalantly removing her sheer blue negligee, Elsie strips down to her bra, panties and stockings in front of the stammering anchorman.

 

Unaware this is happening, Elsie moves around the apartment as Benny repeatedly misquotes the news, looks out the back of the set when she crosses behind it and even steals a bite of her pastry through the screen. When Benny later reports that an escaped convict (Bob Todd) is loose in her neighborhood, the criminal immediate bursts into Elsie's apartment and hides in her wardrobe, closely followed by two police officers (Henry McGee and Roger Finch) strolling into the house. 

Seeing all this, the newscaster tries to warn them, but they turn down the volume on the television which he then turns back up. When the criminal is caught hiding, a struggle ensues, and the newscaster is shot through the TV monitor, lamenting that the only casualty was an innocent newsreader. Finally looking at the television, Elsie comments "Look at that - drunk again."

Las Temibles de Argentina

This sketch is about as silly as they come, but well worth a look all the same. Grandpa is pleasantly surprised (to say the least) when Grandma invites Las Temibles over to sing "happy birthday:"

If we're reading the translation correctly, Las Temibles were an Argentine girl-group that made it big on Peruvian TV during the late 80s. While their repertoire was largely musical, they were also accomplished comedic actresses, appearing in numerous variety shows until they found a home on Risa y Salsa (Panamericana Televisión, 1980-1999). As a general rule, "The Fearsome Ones" usually wore skimpy outfits, they occasionally stripped down to their lenceria on special occasions (as suggested in the vid-clip posted above).

The Two Ninnies

As the late Seventies drew to its inevitable conclusion, Benny Hill found himself up against some rather tough competition, particularly from Messrs  Barker & Corbett, alias The Two Ronnies. Overwhelmingly popular during their decade-spanning career, the Ronnies' humor was largely based on word play and spoonerisms, though they weren't above "borrowing" from Benny's tried-and-true blend of smutty innuendo and gratuitous lingerie shots. On a few occasions, the two programs seemed to share the same blackout gags, all the way down to the color of the starlets' underwear:

Dick Emery: Blink and You'll miss it...

An extremely short clip (21 seconds) from a 1980s English comedy. The humor paid tribute to The Benny Hill Show, even using the "silent film" format. Back in the day, hardly a week went by without some pretty young thing being stripped to her lingerie on British TV:

Yet MORE Colpo Grosso

Rewind back to 1990s Italy, where beautiful young girls shed their clothing on a weekly basis. Colpo Grosso, aka The Big Win, was the most popular game show of the decade, with an international audience numbering in the millions. As mentioned elsewhere, viewers tuned in to see which lucky starlet would be revealing her bra and knickers to the cameras (with the added bonus of an All-Girl Striptease if everything went according to plan).

Hammer House of Horror

I guess they just couldn't help themselves. When Hammer Studios made the transition to TV in 1980, they used every trick in the book to lure in the audience - including, of course, pretty young starlets stripping down to their lingerie for no apparent reason. This tradition was established in the very first episode ("Witching Time"), where the camera lovingly follows Prunella Gee around in her bra and knickers from room to room, leaving very little to the imagination.

Jane Revisited

Following Jane's phenomenonally successful run in the 1940s, the Daily Mirror attempted two revivals of the character over the next three decades, first with the short-lived Jane, Daughter of Jane in the 1960s (Alfred Mazure, 1961-1963):

...followed by a mid-eighties reboot which updated the original heroine for a contemporary audience (1985-1990). Veteran cartoonist John M. Burns added an espionage parody recalling Jane's homefront adventures of the war years:

 

While both strips were initially well-received , neither managed to recapture the charm of Norman Pett's wide-eyed ingenue. Despite some truly knockout artwork from Burns and Mazure, the revivals simply couldn't match the patriotic fervor of their predecessor. Apparently, the key to success involves more than just a pretty blonde running around in her lingerie :)

Benny Hill: Garters Galore!

And now for another (in)famous chase scene from The Benny Hill Show! By the end of the eighties, the starring cast must have been stripped down to their underwear in every manner humanly possible, but apparently, the Old Reprobate still had a few tricks up his sleeve.

 

 

 

 

This 1986 closing sketch has Benny fleeing through the Dimpton countryside with the obligatory Traffic Wardens in hot pursuit. Inevitably, a chance encounter with a barbed wire fence leaves the girls in nothing but their bras and knickers, at which point the tables abruptly turn and the WPCs find themselves sprinting half-naked through the woods.

 

 

On the run again...

 

The skit appears to have been a fun shoot for everybody concerned; evidently the girls found running around in their stockings and garters as much of a thrill as we do. Interestingly, the scene posted above originally had the closing credits rolling over the action. We'd be very interested to know how they removed the titles for this animated gif. It seems to have been lifted from an old video compilation (as opposed to DVD), maybe there's an alternate source concealed somewhere on the net :)
