Pick of the Day
Sex Actually With Alice Levine, 10.00pm, Channel 4
Here’s a new series that’s so Channel 4 it’s almost ridiculous.
And it's not for the squeamish, as presenter Alice Levine - not exactly a shrinking violet - steps out of her own comfort zone to embark on a journey of sexual discovery.
Invited into homes across the UK, she explores what sex means for modern Brits - whether they're doing it for pure pleasure, for money, or even seeking spiritual enlightenment.
She begins by meeting a Bournemouth couple who have quit their jobs to make adult content around the clock.
Then she gets together with a boyfriend and girlfriend in Newcastle who top up their incomes by streaming what they get up to in the bedroom.
