Britain’s Channel 4 Profiles Family Sex Shop Business

LONDON—The family that owns two sex shops in Brighton, England, are the subject of A Very British Sex Shop, a new documentary on British television network Channel 4. The show, which debuted Monday, May 27, follows Tim Richardson, who co-owns the traditional adult boutique Lust and the BDSM-themed Taboo with his ex-wife Nancy, as well as his current wife, Calandra. In addition to giving a behind-the-scenes look at operating an adult-themed business, A Very British Sex Shop follows Tim’s struggle as he tries to convince his children—son Taz and daughter Kizzy—to eventually take over the family business. The documentary follows the family at the busiest time of year for the business—Valentine’s Day—and highlights the struggles of running a sex shop, as well as the struggles of each family member trying to come to terms with their role in the operation.
