What's All This, Then?

What's All This, Then? was a fictitious 1980s variety show produced by Chamberlain City Television (CCTV). Featuring transgendered alumni from the infamous Thames Comedy Hour, it specialized in ribald humor recalling both The Benny Hill Show and The Two Ronnies. The show's premise was similar to a game of strip poker, in which the "contestants" suffered various forms of good-natured humiliation; whenever one of the players lost, she was required to strip down to her bra, panties and suspender stockings - sometimes less, depending on the size of the bet.

Competitions
At the beginning of each episode, pretty young women are "selected" from the studio audience to participate in televised contests. Initially, the girls have their measurements taken, a process requiring them to strip down to their bras and knickers on camera. Naturally, they're all wearing their prettiest lingerie for the occasion.

After numerous close-ups of their breasts and bottoms, the girls are ready to take part in the games. Each of the challenges involve some degree of mild embarrassment, but are clearly a lot of fun for both the contestants and the audience alike.

In one segment, the girls are involved in a race to see how fast they can remove a set of clothing (skirts & tops provided by the studio) and pass them to the next girl in the circle. In another, the girls are trapped in a large net and must clamber over each others' half-naked bodies to find a way out. In a third variation, the girls run relays across the set, trading robes with their teamates on the other side. In many cases, the girls are doused with water to make them shriek.

The action is captured by multiple camera angles while male referees supervise the play, ensuring that nobody is caught "cheating." When the competitions are finally concluded, the girls usually dance in their underwear before the cameras, waving to the lenses before they retire from the stage to retrieve their clothing.
