In 1977 BBC Scarfolk broadcast a 'schools and colleges' series that prepared children for the world of work awaiting them. The programme was aimed at boys aged between eight and twelve (girls, of course, weren't allowed to watch such programmes because they interfered with weekly domestic servility exams).
"Seducing Students & Secretaries" focused on one of the more important aspects of employment; that of cornering and ensnaring female employees or students for personal gratification.
Based on his book "How To Get the Lady Beneath You Beneath You" (Pelican Books, 1974), Dr. Hugh Schaime (seen below) presented the programme and taught prospective bosses, in a classroom environment, how best to exploit their positions of power in the workplace.
His course covered subjects such as 'how to make women believe that an uninvited kiss is a compulsory dental exploration.' He also tutored obstinate female employees, teaching them how to submit with grace.
The programme was particularly memorable for its title sequence which featured a butcher preparing meat, something that Dr. Schaime felt was a perfect metaphor for the knowledge he imparted for over fifty years.
The programmes were accidentally erased by the BBC in 1979, but we do still have a selection of screenshots, as you can see below.
God, you're good

I think a few of the BBC celebs of the time must have been employing Dr. Schaime's techniques… Perhaps the loss of the tapes was no accident. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteIt's so hot ! The tape was stolen, it's obvious.
ReplyDeleteI am a butcher and I object to the implication we might be exercising our craft on human meat.
