* The Year of the Sex Olympics ( 1968 ) was a BBC television play in which a dissident in a dictatorship is forced onto a secluded island and taped for a reality show in order to keep the masses entertained.

In the same year as 2001, he appeared in the prescient BBC TV play The Year of the Sex Olympics by Nigel Kneale.

* Track 10 of comedian Eugene Mirman's stand-up album, God is a Twelve Year Old Boy With Aspergers, is titled " Sex, ???

In the meantime, Kneale had been coaxed back to the BBC, writing plays such as The Year of the Sex Olympics ( 1968 ), Wine of India ( 1970 ) and The Stone Tape ( 1972 ).

Concerns about the state of society, especially the “ dropout ” culture of the youth movement, had been a theme of Kneale's writing for some time, as seen in such works as The Big, Big Giggle, an unmade play about a teenage suicide cult ; The Year of the Sex Olympics, about the consequences of a world with no censorship or inhibitions ; and Bam!

Some of the best-known productions screened in the strand included a new version of Nigel Kneale's 1954 adaptation of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four ( 1965 ); the four-part Talking to a Stranger by John Hopkins ( 1966 ) which told the same story from four different viewpoints, and starred Judi Dench ; and 1968's science-fiction allegory The Year of the Sex Olympics, again by Kneale.

The Year of the Sex Olympics was released on DVD by the BFI in 2003, although in black and white, as the original colour videotape was wiped, with only a film telerecording surviving in the archives.

The Year of the Sex Olympics is a 1968 television play made by the BBC and first broadcast on BBC2 as part of Theatre 625.

Kneale accepted a commission from Theatre 625 producer Michael Bakewell on Friday, 7 April 1967 for what would become The Year of the Sex Olympics.

Dissatisfaction with the youth culture of the time was a preoccupation of Kneale's: in the mid-sixties he had worked on an unmade script, The Big, Big, Giggle, about a teenage suicide cult and following The Year of the Sex Olympics, returned to the theme of youth out of control in his 1969 play Bam!

For The Year of the Sex Olympics Kneale extrapolated the possible consequences of the youth movement's desire for freedom from " traditional " cultural inhibitions, asking as the academic John R. Cook puts it, " In a world of no limits, will the result quickly be apathy if there is nothing any more to get excited about, nothing precious or illicit to fight for in the teeth of the censor?

Writing to Rossiter, offering him the part, Elliot described The Year of the Sex Olympics as " the most important play Nigel Kneale has written since Quatermass ".

The Year of the Sex Olympics proved to be a difficult production when television decency campaigner Mary Whitehouse of the National Viewers and Listeners Association obtained a copy of the script and attempted to block the production.

The Year of the Sex Olympics presented a production with gaudy sets, costumes and makeup.

The Year of the Sex Olympics was watched by 1. 5 million viewers.

As often happened in this era, the colour master tapes of The Year of the Sex Olympics were wiped some time after broadcast and the play was believed lost until the nineteen-eighties when a black and white telerecording was discovered.

One of the first to draw comparisons with The Year of the Sex Olympics and the rise of reality television programmes ( soap operas without professional actors ), such as Big Brother, Castaway 2000 and Survivor, was the journalist Nancy Banks-Smith in a review of the first series of the UK version of Big Brother for The Guardian in 2000, a theme she later expounded upon in 2003, writing that the play " foretold the reality show and, in the scramble for greater sensation, its logical outcome ".

Banks-Smith had long been an admirer of The Year of the Sex Olympics, having written in The Sun following its original broadcast in 1968: " Quite apart from the excellent script and the ' big big ' treatment, the play radiated ripples.

[...] It's The Year of the Sex Olympics!

When The Year of the Sex Olympics was repeated on BBC Four on 22 May 2003, Paul Hoggart in The Times noted that " in many respects Kneale was right on the money [...] when you consider that nothing gets contemporary reality show audiences more excited than an emotional train-wreck on live TV ".

Although the reality television of The Live Life Show is the aspect most commentators pick up on, The Year of the Sex Olympics is also a wider satire on sensationalist television and the media in general.
