We're often told how open-minded the young are today, that old taboos about race, homosexuality and body shape have been brushed aside.

The rules of the Naked Attraction format beggar description.

But Bob Guccione, founder of pornographic magazine Penthouse, who produced and financed the film, felt it did not contain enough sex.

For an entire generation, constant exposure to clinical sexual footage has ripped the soul out of erotic love. God knows Channel Four has broadcast some trash over the years, but this was a new low, degrading everyone involved while exposing how cynical Britain's lovelife has become.

Naked Attraction brutally proved that many Britons under 35 regard the human body — any body, male or female — as meat.

It was subsequently picked up by NBC, and, in order to give it time to retool the show, and make some cast changes, it began its run on NBC as a springtime replacement in January 1997 (the first episode was called, "We're At NBC Now"). However, after still more changes to the show, ratings plummeted, and the show was cancelled.

Since NBC had ordered a full season, several shows were never aired during its broadcast run.
