Comments on Episode 8

The story in this episode just screamed foursome at me. I really wanted to get from the set-up to the orgy as quickly as possible so did not spend much time with the Brigata. Kitchens seemed to feature heavily in this story so that is where the best action was destined to take place. Food would once again play a part, but how much more fun would it have been with a rolling pin and a full collection of exotic vegetables.

Observers of the series may have noticed the strong similarity in the cast list between this and the worms’ episode. I would like to say it was because Aria and Kate worked well together, which they did, but it was just a matter of making sure everyone had good parts and all the other roles were set in stone so there was not much choice. Aria is of course adept at many things including double penetration something which most of the actresses might have struggled with.

I suppose it is difficult to believe that the two innocent parties were unaware what was going on between Spinellocio and Pippa especially with Tita the other side of an easily demolished wall. Once more we looked for common 14th century names and came up with the easily accessible Pippa and the wholly appropriate Tita. Another aspect was the constantly changing breakfast time, which seemed to refer to any snack taken in the morning. Surely they had breakfast before leaving home but then Spinellocio claimed he wanted to eat again.

The only controversial part is that there does seem a degree of **** with Zeppa on Tita but like many of Boccaccio’s tales a promised piece of jewellery transfers desires to reality. Throughout this episode we took advantage of filming cross-sections allowing us to pan the camera between the 3 upper rooms and then for the iconic chest scene giving us the chance to see the cheating husband being cheated on by his wife in the same shot.

Researching medieval sun-bathing, it did appear that the favoured protection was olive oil and oiling up always adds to eroticism, especially when there are such beautiful body parts to rub it on. It did make hand jobs rather tricky so there were plenty of kitchen towels used before the final masturbation scene. In the first series, the multiple wanking at the climax of Tabitha’s story was hidden so it was pleasing to have it out in the open this time.
