I always rather enjoyed the spanking Julie T Wallace gets in the BBC adaptation of Fay Weldon's Life and Loves of a She-Devil, from a wife-beating judge wielding a carpet-beater. The spanking calms him down and he doesn't hit his wife again - merely locks up Wallace's ex-husband, as she intended all along. Mostly it's a fun scene because she's a fine figure of a woman in it and because of all the fetishistic ritual that goes along with it, plus she eggs him on to do more to her large bum.

As if ordinary people still had servants in the 1950s! It clearly showed how out of date the prosecution was. saw 'Tipping the Velvet' myself, actually. Although jeanette winterton's 'Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit' wasn't an adaptatio by Davies ( I don't think so, anyway), i would also like to recommend that one, too, as a very touching, as well as erotic love story.

You can't half write, Adele. I loved this little exposition, probably because it is talking to the converted. You can’t half write, Adele.
