Sex (19/02/97) REPEATED (19/7/01)
Why is sex the first thing on our minds? Why is sex so prominent in society? Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex!
Crime (26/02/97) REPEATED (26/07/97)
More young offenders are committing offences than ever before, and the Government’s typically weak response has been to get Tommy Vance to present a video urging them not to indulge in any more crimes, for fear of the threat of being denied foaming nut-brown ale. “Brass Eyeâ€ÂÂ, however, has an iron nerve, and ramraids its way into the world of crime to judge for itself whether or not anything can actually be done.
Moral Decline (2/3/97) REPEATED (2/8/01)
Factories persuade their workers to experiment with drugs to increase productivity. Pop groups have hit singles with songs of love to Myra Hindley. Petrol stations are raided by gunmen and seabirds every couple of minutes. Riddled with wounds from the knife of Americana and the shotgun of popular culture, Britain’s once proud and resolute morality is crumbling like a cheap digestive biscuit. An oasis of stern moral stricture in a sea of hedonism, “Brass Eye†gets to heart of the matter and tries to do more for our sick society than Paul McCartney donating one hundred top hats ever could.
