The Coopers and Robinsons: Swingers
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
The Coopers and Robinsons arrive at an English couple's party dressed head to toe for golf, unaware that their hosts and the other guests, in fetish costumes, mean a very different kind of swinging. Determined to prove they are thoroughly British, the two couples first insist they are sexually repressed, then flip to boasting about the orgies they supposedly throw at home. The hosts' talk of wife swapping sails over their heads, but when their hosts welcome the Asian guests as the spice of the party, the couples are scandalised by the idea of an orgy with Asian people and storm out in disgust.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Our house is a cesspit of sexual degradation.
I knew our Asian guests would spice up the party.
What, with the Asian people?
A little extra
Notes from the archive.
First broadcast on 13 November 1998 in the opening episode of the second series of Goodness Gracious Me, whose British Comedy Guide listing sums the segment up as the golf-loving couples misunderstanding what swinging means.
