They're not easy at all to do and they do all completely depend on trust. It may be explicit for nine o'clock - but it's not so much about sex as about love. Its aim definitely wasn't to shock. It wasn't about testing the watershed at all".<ref name="Max defends 'raunchy' show">{{cite web|author=Ian Wylie|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/entertainment/film_and_tv/s/1007/1007551_max_defends_raunchy_show.html|title=Max defends 'raunchy' show|date=2007-05-23|accessdate=2009-09-21|publisher=''[[Manchester Evening News]]''}}</ref>
