39:21 – Here at last! Doc Sleaze’s much delayed Christmas Special! In the great British tradition of seasonal special episodes, most of it is really a regular episode, but with tinsel and lights on. But all the ingredients of Christmas are here: sex in the kitchen, religious arguments and suggestions for rehab. Plus, Doc Sleaze dreams of a woke Christmas, special guest Jerry Springer weighs in on the virgin birth and we have a series of extracts from the English language version of director Carlo Spagnotti’s seminal 1973 shockumentary ‘Mondo Christmas’. Not to forget the festive family films – a German knocker-fest and giant monsters. Includes:
Jerry Springer on the Immaculate Conception ¦ ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’ ¦ Woke Christmas ¦ Mondo Christmas (Part 1) ¦ Bashing the Archbishop ¦ Random Movie Trailer – ‘The Vampire Happening’ (1971) ¦ Mondo Christmas (Part 2) ¦ Sex and Lies in the Kitchen ¦ Movies in Brief – ‘King Kong Escapes’ (1967) inc Trailer ¦ Mondo Christmas (Part 3) ¦ Rehabilitating Monsters ¦ Mondo Christmas (Part 4) ¦ Carol Singers Rebuffed ¦ ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’ (Reprise)
A Merry Christmas to one and all!
