Simon Sheridan has long held an active interest in the kinkier aspects of British pop culture (the sixties and seventies variety in particular). His encyclopaedic knowledge runs the gamut of homegrown X-rated cinema right through to cheerful childish nostalgia - from tragic British porn queen Mary Millington and cult filmmaker Stanley (The Wife Swappers ) Long, George & Mildred and Mrs. Slocombe's pussy right through to classic kids shows like Jamie and the Magic Torch, Bod and The Moomins. Simon has written several critically acclaimed books including The A-Z of Classic Children's Television, Keeping the British End Up and Come Play with Me - The Life and Films of Mary Millington. Simon is also contributor to newspapers and magazines both in the UK and US. On British television he has appeared in a variety of documentaries for Sky One, Channel 4, Granada and Five including Sex & Fame: The Mary Millington Story, X-Rated: The Films That Shocked Britain, How Nudity Conquered the World, The Cartoon People and 100 Greatest Cartoons.
