    Had to rewind that a couple of times just to make sure he actually said what I think he said.

      To his credit, he seems to be uncomfortable saying it.

        Um...wow. You also have to figure British humor of the time. Benny Hill, anyone?

          mmmm, it's more like the corporate atmosphere of the 70s and early 80s was still a little....slow to adapt. A friend of mine has topless pool supply catalogs and my dad used to get catalogs that were lenticular when i was a kid. Guess what happened to everyone's clothes?

                  What the what? 3 1/2 minutes totally on point hammering the scheme over and over, and then 'blam' - insert punch line to wake everybody up??? So left field. While I get the male dominated corperate-ness and whatnot, I can't help but think there were some uncomfortable folks having an awkward moment at the end of that presentation.

                    Umm, yeah, that's depressing on so many levels. Even considering the time period that's not Monty Python nudge, nudge, wink naughty humor. It just comes off as cruel. Plus didn't the BBC consider Doctor Who kid's show at that time? Makes it even more icky.
                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                      Agreed with all that's above. I can see why this basically was hidden for so many years.

                        It's probably not a PR windfall for the company that produced this film as they are still in business.

                          Maybe he was subconsciously thinking of Katy Manning (Jo Grant) and her infamous 1976 nude photoshoot with a Dalek?
