The story
Five ordinary mums confront the impact of easy access porn on their kids and shine a light on the issues relating to young people’s attitude toward sex today. Combining focused journalism with warm and mischievous entertainment, the mums explore the world of modern pornography to produce their own 12-minute porn film.
What it’s like
Plain, practical daylight in ordinary family kitchens and living rooms, with the camera settling into sit-down conversations and the occasional handheld walk into the world of a production set. The palette stays domestic and unfussy, and the sound is mostly voices: candid talk, nervous laughter, and a warm, playful edge that tips into cheeky whenever the mums take on their own project. The vibe is earnest and mischievous at once, the kind of show that suits a weekend afternoon, a shared sofa with a partner, or a catch-up with friends who want to talk about what their kids are seeing online. The pace is brisk and conversational, with each mum's arc moving from embarrassment or worry toward a clearer, more confident stance. Sexual content is frank and central: the subject is pornography and sex, the discussion is explicit in its vocabulary, and the making of the short film is played for laughs and candour, with no violence or gore. Its intensity is talk-heavy rather than graphic in tone, and it is best suited to adults who want honest, funny, non-judgemental factual television about sex and young people.
