After being promised the 'steamiest season yet', Bridgerton fans were left somewhat disappointed by the lack of regency romps in part one of season three.
It's a moment viewers were so keen to see that they stayed up all night, took the day off work and even reduced them to tears.
Just 15 minutes into the period drama, viewers were faced with an explicit six-minute long sex scene featuring the show leads. Viewers have been left in limbo for a month after the first part of the season ended on a cliffhanger, with Colin asking Penelope for her hand in marriage. After warning his virginal bride that this 'may hurt' the pair then had sex, with Penelope asking at the end 'can we do it again?' to which Colin quipped: 'give me 5 minutes, maybe 10.'
Eager viewers said they only had a few hours' sleep as they stayed up into the early hours to watch the cast attend the red carpet premiere before counting down to the 8am release. In the explicit scene, Penelope was being comforted by Luke after a row with her mother about her engagement, during which time they began kissing
Viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to applaud Nicola Coughlan and producers for the 'empowering' episode, which saw the actress, 37, strip off in the racy six-minute scene When recently told she was 'brave' to film the sex scenes, Nicola joked in response: 'You know, it is hard, because I think women with my body type – women with perfect breasts – we don’t get to see ourselves on screen enough, and I’m very proud as a member of the perfect breasts community.'
The threesome are revisited in episode eight as they are seen taking off each other's clothes as Benedict takes it in turns kissing each of them Fans were thrilled to see series two's main characters Lord Anthony and Kate Sharma return in series three, after the close of the previous season saw the fan favourite couple marry.Elsewhere Alice Mondrich and Will Mondrich also shared a very steamy kiss in the first four episodes.
In fact, Anthony and Kate were in the first sex scene of the new series, which took place 31 minutes into the first episodeColin had two threesomes in the beginning of season three - but to viewers disappointment, neither included Penelope The pair finally gave into their passions, with Colin lifting up Penelope's dress in the back of the carriage for a very steamy finale.
In a striking finding, almost half the films released last year featured no sexual content, while the proportion in 2000 was less than a fifth, according to the analysis, which was first published in The Economist. From Sharon Stone's infamous leg cross in Basic Instinct to Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Michelle Gellar's kiss in Cruel Intentions, sultry moments were rife and many across cinema up until the noughties.
How much longer she can keep him in ignorance, and what fireworks there'll be when he discovers the truth, is the chief source of tension in this big-budget Regency romance. Penelope is powerless to resist – though his lordship is impeccably conscientious about applying for her permission before every kiss.
After that, naturally, Penelope is powerless to resist – though his lordship is impeccably conscientious about applying for her permission before every kiss. 'You must tell me to stop if you do not wish for this,' he urges.Compare this to the moment in Poldark when Cap'n Ross bursts into the bedchamber of his arch-enemy's wife Elizabeth, and ravishes her despite her half-hearted attempts to refuse him. But then, whatever else he was, Poldark was no gentleman.
