The original title for Tyger Takes On Porn was “Tyger takes on seven dicks like nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom”. That was a very different show. In this cockumentary Tyger Drew-Honey of Outnumbered and some other things turns his fierce unrelenting eye on porn – its multifaceted insidious nature and how it has invaded our lives and penetrated our culture like never before. Tyger is uniquely qualified to talk on porn due to his conventional upbringing. His mother Linzi Drew was a professional cocksucker appearing in approximately 300,000,000 adult movies and his father Ben Dover much the same. Tyger grew up secure in the knowledge that half of his school friends and all of his schoolteachers had at one time or another cracked one out over his mother noshing off a man she had just met.
As she picked him up from his co-educational boarding and day school the teachers would look from her to him, from him to her and then retrieve the image of her cum drenched face from the night before. “Jesus fucking Christ this is weird – and yet, strangely hot” they are likely to have thought as she nodded and smiled before going home to re-evaluate her work in such films as Buttman – Before They Were Stars, Squirty Rotten Scoundrels and Thunder Boobs – The Return. Yeah, they gave her oeuvre a good old re-evaluating alright.

“Fuck me! Fuck me! That’s right you big black bastard – fuck me!” his friends would taunt quoting his mother’s impassioned ad-libs from Once You Go Black… 29. “Now put it up my arse while I suck him off!” they would continue, alluding to her SHAFTA nominated performance in Triple Team Madness – Falmouth and then “Oh my God – I’m pissing in a bucket before throwing it at a wall!” referencing her zero budget arthouse venture Piss Bucket Chuckers #9. So yeah, we’ll give him this one.
Tyger wonders if post-Internet 24/7 porn affects our own sex lives, filling us with unrealistic expectations. He meets Zak a young man who wanks nine times a day, Brummie porn addict Rundeep and professional webcam bore Lesley who can bore for the solar system. He worries that in today’s porn saturated culture girls will be expected to do stuff they couldn’t possibly enjoy like anal sex and blokes nutting over their faces. The science backs him up. No woman has ever liked either of these things. The point is well taken.
Tyger’s a likeable lad and he delivers a witty self-deprecating commentary. He has that rare quality of being somebody on the TV you don’t want to kill. He’ll go far.
The verdict: Pop go momma when daddy get a little too much.
