Press clippings

"Mind Your Own Business" (BBC1) was as funny as it was filthy. [...] You could say it was out of "Curry and Chips" and "Till Death". [...] It was a way of deflating ignorance by exploding it in laughter. Dragging it out of the subconscious, on to the screen. What is seen is no longer obscene. It was a brave thing to do and it will not be universally accepted or applauded as such. But this is one of the nights when I could forgive the BBC all their sins of omission and commission for having the courage to screen it.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 9th July 1970
