Topless

Topless
Sandie is your sexy tour guide for a fabulous tour of London on an open top sightseeing bus. She can't wait to point out all the sights from Big Ben to the Tower of London and tell you all about their history. Unfortunately, that's not all that she wants to talk about. Nearly every sight along the way seems to trigger off some hilarious memory to do with her 'gorgeous Duncan, who's the spitting image of Mel Gibson'. Domestic problems and sightseeing become entwined as Sandie reveals how she deals with her straying husband in this punchy, heartfelt comedy that takes you on an extraordinary journey through the streets of London.

As Lurcio attempts to deliver his prologue and begin proceedings, hes quickly caught up in the myriad of sexual liaisons in all quarters of his masters house. Why does Ludicrus not leave for the Senate meeting in Rome? Why does his wife return so quickly from the country? Who will take care of the escaped slave girl, Voluptua, and will Nausiuss love poetry improve?
