Vault Note

When British science meets British libido, even the tea-lady's not safe.

Programmer's Pick

Britain’s answer to laboratory lunacy, this sex comedy blends pubescent science with full-frontal farce. Joseph McGrath lets the nudity and naughtiness run amok, with Jon Pigeon's aphrodisiac invention turning workplace woes into a parade of unfiltered chaos. The tea-lady might grab more than your attention.

Synopsis

Virginal nerd Jon Pigeon works in a peculiar sex research institute in which patients run about the corridors naked, nude aerobics are encouraged and where no man is safe from a crotch-grabbing old tea-lady. In order to seduce office secretary Cheryl, Pigeon invents a machine nicknamed Agnes which emits a 'sonic aphrodisiac' that can turn any man or woman into an over-lustful sex maniac. While his attempts to zap Cheryl end in disaster, Pigeon has some fun turning the 'sexy ray' on his bullying boss Nutbrown and clean-up campaigner Mary Watchtower.

Why Cult

Sex Research Institute Chaos

The setting is a research institute where nude aerobics and streaking patients are the norm, making for a uniquely risqué office environment.

Sonic Aphrodisiac Machine

Jon Pigeon's invention, Agnes, emits a 'sonic aphrodisiac' that sparks mayhem by turning staff and authority figures into uncontrollable sex maniacs.

British Sex Comedy Nudity

Expect an unabashed display of British sexploitation, complete with female full frontal nudity, stockinged legs, and more than a whiff of erotic farce.

Character-Driven Farce

With a cast of quirky characters—from a crotch-grabbing tea-lady to a bullying boss—there’s no shortage of outrageous personalities fueling the comic bedlam.
