Confessions From A Holiday Camp
Confessions from a Holiday Camp has the honour of being
possibly the only soft porn movie to star John Junkin AND have a
theme tune by The Wurzels.
So, porn with a touch of humour, you might say . . . and
without a touch of porn.
The Confessions films relied on a blend of saucy humour
and What the Butler Saw-style smut (much loved by the Carry On
team). This was the fourth and last of these cheap but cheerful
comedies, with Robin Askwith returning as an over-sexed
entertainments officer at a camp run by an ex-prison officer.
Liz Fraser, Bill Maynard and Anthony Booth bring a bit of comic
experience to the proceedings, while series regular Linda Hayden
provides the “glamour”.
Irish director Norman Cohen, who handled three of the quartet
(Val Guest made the original Confessions of a Window Cleaner)
also made the movie versions of Till Death Us Do Part and Dad's
Army.
These films were shown in Soho sex cinemas, for God's sake.
