smuttiness

Graham, do you ever miss the camp smuttiness of your old Channel 4 show, So Graham Norton?

“Mammas” — a set of short films, two to three minutes each, appearing Sunday on the Sundance Channel and sundancechannel.com — reflects the distinctive character of its creator, Isabella Rossellini: a blend of innocence, sophistication and sly smuttiness.

His rocket to the top, however, was fueled by a radio program so crass that he was repeatedly warned by management, to 2Day’s credit, to tone down his show’s smuttiness.
