What happens

Sin on Saturday was a British live, late-night chat show based on the theme of the seven deadly sins. It was produced by BBC Scotland, but it was pulled from the schedules after only three broadcasts. Originally, the show was to broadcast eight episodes. The first seven were to be based on each of the deadly sins, and the eighth one intended to round off the series by debating the meaning of transgression. The show was hosted by Bernard Falk and also featured comedy sketches and musical interludes. It included a memorable appearance by the actor Oliver Reed who interrupted an interview with a nun on the edition entitled 'Lust', which also featured porn actress Linda Lovelace. In 1992 the show was featured on a 'TV Hell' theme night broadcast on BBC2. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
