Season 1:
In 1963, armed with just a typewriter, a Midlands housewife began a 30-year battle against the permissive society. But how successful was the original ‘cancel culture’ warrior?
During the 1970s and 1980s, Mary's campaigns against pornography and 'video nasties' raise her profile still further. But new media forms overtake her efforts to censor content.
