British Board of Film Classification (Accountability to Parliament and Appeals) Bill

The hon. Gentleman has an almost embarrassingly encyclopaedic knowledge of schlock and other film categories, to which I cede him first place. He rightly talks about the appalling production standards, vile script and general tackiness of ““SS Experiment Camp””, but is there not a danger of getting into a situation such as pertained to the Russ Meyer films in the 1960s? Those films were so appalling that huge numbers of people bought and watched them. The ante increased as more and more Russ Meyer films were made, particularly following ““Beyond the Valley of the Dolls”” and ““Supervixens””. Things got nastier and nastier, and increasingly sordid.
