As for Mary Whitehouse - it remains a mystery how a woman who made it her life's work actively to seek out television to complain about, yet mysteriously remained the only one immune to its influences - especially given the unnatural impulse to go looking for sex on television in order to lecture everyone else about its 'dangers'.
