Every Home Should Have One (U.S. title: Think Dirty [1]) is a 1970 British comedy film directed by Jim Clark and starring Marty Feldman.[2][3] The screenplay was by Marty Feldman, Barry Took and Denis Norden, based on a story by Herbert Kretzmer and Milton Shulman.
The film ridicules the then ongoing campaign organised by Mary Whitehouse against gratuitous sex in British entertainment and advertising.
Plot
[edit]An advertising man is assigned by his boss to come up with a sexy new image for Mrs McLaughlin's Frozen Porridge. While his wife runs a clean-up-TV campaign organized by the local vicar, he has an affair with the au-pair girl.[4]
The overall concept is that adverts play out before their lives connecting to the products to hand.
The various porridge advertising campaigns get more and more extreme: the most relevant being the Goldilocks and the Three Bears campaign. This leads to a secondary campaign to search for "Miss Goldilocks".
