  • Call My Muff was a long-running British game show between two teams of three celebrity contestants. Panelists read out slang definitions of male and female sex organs with the other side guessing which is the most obscene. The losing team then had to expose their lower regions whilst the end credits rolled. Judicious placement of cameras ensured that viewers at home saw only three bare backsides, but the studio audience saw the 'full monty.' Tickets for this show were very popular.

  • Call My Muff was a long-running British game show between two teams of three celebrity contestants. Panelists read out slang definitions of male and female sex organs with the other side guessing which is the most obscene. The losing team then had to expose their lower regions whilst the end credits rolled. Judicious placement of cameras ensured that viewers at home saw only three bare backsides, but the studio audience saw the 'full monty.' Tickets for this show were very popular. The show initially aired on radio but was moved to television when it was felt something was lost on the former medium. Wikipedia lists 25 different series, which ran from October 1965 through December 1988, plus a one-off in April 1994 entitled, World's Best Muffs. The show led to foreign knock-offs, such as an American version on NBC pairing Bill Cullen with a one-line airport arrival read-out, which had a short noontime run ending one month before the British debut. Most of the individual shows have been purged from the BBC archives, apparently the only enduring result of the 'Back to Basics' political movement. The show's legacy is as a direct cause of the dawning era of shaved pubes among movie stars. The American episodes have likewise been sheared from the NBC archives.
