Here's a curious one.

Warning: Spoilers
The video case says 1993, the copyright notice on the programme itself says 1983, so I'm guessing it was unreleased for ten years. And I can see why. This is a poor excuse for a sell-through video, inter-cutting three not-bad Kitten Natividad strip routines with a series of 'comedy' skits that are so painfully bad even Benny Hill would have winced. To give you some idea of the 'quality' of the entertainment on offer here, a kung fu teacher (and a pretty offensive stereotype at that) breaks some concrete blocks in front of Kitten. Kitten does some kung fu moves, then swings her considerable bosom at a tree and knocks it down. The sketch ends. A tennis match is disrupted when Kitten keeps shaking her huge cans at one of the players - his opponent turns out to be her boyfriend. The sketch ends. When the sketches aren't feeble and lower than lowbrow, they're surreal nonsense - there's a ripoff of the Goodies' 'Kitten Kong' episode, a medieval number in which Kitten's newborn baby turns out to be a frog puppet (I'm not making this up, I promise), a Dracula fantasy where the bloodsucking creep ricks his neck just as he's about to sink his teeth into Kitten's chest...it's all pretty dreadful and uninvolved, and it only lasts for a paltry half-hour, but it feels like much longer. It's a missed opportunity that could have been so much more.

(Kitten does look amazing in some of those outfits, though...)
