First viewed : 19 June 1987
This was a late night Channel 4 programme giving a first showing to the video for George Michael's controversial new single " I Want Your Sex ". Both song and video were considered inappropriate for pre-watershed broadcasting so George Michael came in for a nocturnal chat with Jonathan Ross explaining the single and his forthcoming solo album "Faith". There was much talk of AIDS; George is scrawling "Explore Monogamy" on the girl's rump in the still above.
George was still in the closet at the time so the video featured his then-girlfriend Kathy Jeung. Both the song and video are exceptionally tame by today's standards and wouldn't raise an eyebrow let alone be banned in 2017.
