I mean it's an entertaining movie anyway, but that's not really the point I'm making.Ā I didn't learn about the existence of Fast Times until the internet came along, similar to Private School and Paradise. Back then my Phoebe was appearing in films like Drop Dead Fred and Princess Caribou, so (even though I knew about Lace 2), it didn't occur to me that she'd done films aimed at an older audience. 2 hours ago, King Coconut said: I can vouch for the Dorien Effect. For me it was the āshe could teach me a thing or two' side of it.Ā I remember thinking that I should fancy Dorien, but could never quite decide if I did or not. I think she was forced on the audience as someone you should fancy, similar to how those of us brought up on Carry On films became convinced that Barbara Windsor was the most desirable woman on the planet, even though she was surrounded by the likes of Margaret Nolan, Valerie Leon, Gail Grainger, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2023 I know what you mean. Sharon & Tracy are quite dowdy, but Dorien was better dressed and presented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted January 4, 2023 Author Awards Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2023 Now the more mature ladyfolk have been mentioned, itās made me realise I had a thing for Felicity KendalĀ in the Good Life. Donāt know if it was the dungarees or what, but she had me smitten. And Iāve just read that she was only 31 when that show started! Bloody hell. I only saw the repeats about 15 years later but thatās irrelevant. At the time I had her down as an āold womanā and I donāt think I ever told my mates I fancied her for fear of being shamed.Ā Better than Dorien, though. She definitely smelt of brandy and ciggies.

There was some controversy because in one episode she had a top with a low neckline and no bra underneath and gave Richard Briars and the viewers a bit of an eyefull.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymike83 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I've just remembered another... So not sure which she was on - 'Going Live' or 'Motormouth', but damn did I have a thing for Sarah Greene. And then Ghost Watch came along for Halloween '92 and I was completely sold. Then finding out she was married to Mike f'n Smith. Even at 9 years old I understood the mood of outrage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lars85 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 All this talk of Jet has reminded me something I'd forgotten about. Must have been about 9 and I was walking to school with my mate Tom, something we did every school day. Only this day Tom was walking a bit weirdly, and with a smirk on his face. And he didn't really seem interested in the new WWF stickers I was trying to swap with him. Just before we got to the school playground he stopped at the gates and reached into his trousers. He pulled out a Jet action figure, looked really pleased with himself and said "She's been rubbing up against my knob the whole time".Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Carry On Abroad I watched the other day. I did think she was in another one, but I might be confusing her with Imogen Hassall in Carry On Loving.

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted January 5, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2023 Joan Sims is lovely, and I bet she'd make a smashing pot of tea afterwards. I do remember having considerations for her myself, particularly in Carry On Cowboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
