'The worst film ever made': how Sex Lives Of The Potato Men broke British cinema

When the puerile comedy bombed, the film-makers blamed the critics and the Tories blamed the UK Film Council. Twenty years on, we reassess the legacy of a cinematic pariah whose champions include Stewart Lee and Mike Leigh.

Oh, The Humanity! Sex Lives Of The Potato Men
