Michelle investigates as to whether cuffs and collar match.
Department Sex Michelle Thorne who visits frustrated housewives,
films them and plays with them, occasionally with their hubby viewing, while
asking probing questions like, "Do you rub your clit?" and "Do you
shove a finger up your arse as well?"
There's three programmes making up the main feature on this disc, with
Michelle paying a visit to Jenny, who caught her husband watching Michelle's
programme on TV, was at first shocked, but now she wants to shag Michelle.
Then there's Sarah, who watches stacks of lesbian sex films and finds that
Michelle is top of her "shag list", so now she wants to shag Michelle.
Finally, comes Amanda, who says that when her boyfriend is taking her from
behind, she fantasises that it's really Michelle with a strap-on,
so now she wants to shag Michelle. Beginning to spot a pattern here?
Of course, it's no surprise that even with the ITC starting to back down over
consenual sex scenes, the BBFC won't include any particular 'close ups'.
Michelle travels back in time to visit
The picture is fullscreen and clear as a bell. No complaints and zero artifacts.
The average bitrate is a steady 6.74Mb/s.
The sound is Dolby Digital 2.0 (Dolby Surround) and is clear enough, but
isn't used to any great degree.
The extras include a few pages of info about Michelle in Presenter Profile ,
17 pictures in the Photo Gallery and Bonus Footage of a 24-minute
extra programme where Michelle looks on as a blonde is serviced by two blokes
at once.
There are 13 chapters on the disc, although where it counts such sections only
get a chapter of their own. The menus are static and silent and there are no
subtitles.
Michelle gets her camera out for Amanda.
