999 The Men's Room
First viewed : September 1991
I only dipped into this campus drama which became the Bouquet of Barbed Wire for the nineties although not written by the same author. It was based around an affair between two academics, the previously faithful Charity ( Harriet Walter ) and philanderer Mark ( Bill Nighy ). I only knew Nighy previously as the voice of Sam Gamgee in Lord of the Rings but this role set him up for a long career playing over-sexed middle aged men.
The series pushed the boat out with its love scenes including oral sex. The only bit I really remember is Mark's dalliance with Kate Hardie who gives him a lecture on why older men long to wear Y-fronts rather than boxer shorts.
