Sex (TV series)

"Sex" is an Australian television series that ran from 1992 to 1993 on the Nine Network. It was hosted by Sophie Lee in its first season & Pamela Stephenson in its second.

As the title of the show suggests, the show was about sex & all related aspects of it. It caused controversy for a number of reasons, these mainly being the graphic depictions it featured of the subject [ [http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/S/htmlS/sex/sex.htm Sex] Accessed February 13, 2008] & featuring such depictions in the early 8:30pm timeslot. In 1993 the show was moved to a later timeslot but despite good ratings, the controversy became too much for then managing director David Gyngell who announced its departure on the "Midday" show with the final show airing on May 27 [50 Years - Celebrating a Half-Century of Australian Television, David Clark & Steve Samuelson. ISBN 1-7416-6024-6. Published 2006 by Random House Australia, 20 Alfred Street, Milsons Point, NSW, 2061, Australia. ]

One of the reporters on the show was Dr Kerryn Phelps, who would later go on to become president of the Australian Medical Association. The show's success sparked a similar series on Network Ten later in the decade, "Sex/Life".
