In A Very British Sex Shop we meet the Richardsons. This family run a sex shop together. Yes, really!

"Some people will say what is going on is a little bit mad," says sex shop trainee manager Taz, who works with his mum, dad and his dad's new wife, Calandra, in the family's Brighton-based adult shops.

Discussing the latest sex toys with your mum is not everyone's cup of tea, but this is how the Richardson family roll.

Or at least the older generation do. Taz and his sister Kizzy (who dreams of being a lawyer) are mostly just uncomfortable and embarrassed about the family business.

The film joins the family at their busiest time of year – Valentine's Day.

Who says romance is dead!?
