I'm now going to try and re-write what I lost before
I watched the programme and was very impressed. The people were real people and although the interviewer asked a few questions that could have been answered in the (non-swinging) viewers head in a negative way, they gave real answers as we would see them.
I had to laugh at one comment made by the narrator though - in the style of David Attenborough - ""Radlett's the scene of many a roasting, and tonight will be no exception......... the pig has arrived for the buffet"
LIberation was very different from the club scene as I've experienced it so far, but it looks like a fantastic place and is now on my wish list of places to go!!
My only reservation was the involvement of the children in the preparations for the
Radlet party. I hasten to add, for those that didn't see it that the children are about 18 and 15, and they are only involved in the party preparations and NOT in the party itself. I suppose I have reservations because I wouldn't tell my children about this particular "lifestyle choice", but that's my choice. At least the couple concerned had a healthy attitude towards it and answer their children's questions honestly. I'm not sure I wholeheartedly agree with their hope that the children will take over the organisation of the parties in the future, but again, that's me looking at it from mine and my childrens' points of view.
All in all, I felt it was a really honest and balanced view of swinging as a whole, and I echo the sentiments that I hope the series will continue to show swinging as a positive thing instead of the mocking that has happened in previous programmes
Here's to channel 5 getting it right for once!
