Girlfriends is probably my favourite of all the Andrew Blake films in my collection. Genuinely all-girl (no unexpected cock intrusions), it has an alluring cast headlined by the ever-elegant Justine and the almost absurdly voluptuous Aria Giovanni. More importantly, it tones down the wilder fetishistic elements, concentrating on the core Blake obsessions of kinky costumes, legs & feet, and rather mild spanking (in this case via riding-crop).

Our last, best hope...

One advantage to growing up in the late 60s & 70s was being able to pass my formative years in what is generally regarded as the Golden Age of British television. Nostalgia can be a terrible affliction, and it is surely true that there was an awful lot of dross on TV back then, just as there is now. The main difference was fewer channels and therefore less dilution of the available talent pool, both in terms of creators and performers. I don't think I could claim (or admit) to being raised by television, but there's little doubt it was, until very recently, a major influence on my thinking & imagination. So this (occasional) series can be seen as a genre-by-genre autobiography, told via the medium of TV. And by far the most important genre to my young mind was Science Fiction.
