A Piece of History
Mary’s 2004 entry into the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography can now be read online at http://www.oxforddnb.com/templates/article.jsp?articleid=61717&back=
While the Richard Davenport-Hines penned entry doesn’t add anything new to the Millington story his is a solid and sympathetic summarisation of her all too short life and times.

Keep It Up Downstairs in May
A quick reminder that Keep It Up Downstairs gets its long-awaited DVD release in May.
Publicity blurb: “A bawdy British period romp in the classic Seventies "sex comedy" mould, Keep It Up Downstairs lampoons classic television series Upstairs Downstairs and sees a host of stars shedding their Edwardian costumes to save the family silver - including Diana Dors, sex superstar Mary Millington, Willie Rushton, Françoise Pascal, Aimi Macdonald and erstwhile Artful Dodger, Jack Wild. Keep It Up Downstairs is featured here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. The year is 1904; the setting is Cockshute Towers, one of England's stateliest homes. When the household is threatened with bankruptcy, both the masters and the servants are prepared to co-operate in trying to find some cash - after all, most of them are enjoying liaisons of one kind or another among themselves, and none have any desire to give up their rewarding way of life...
SPECIAL FEATURES: [] Full Frame 4:3, as-filmed version of main feature [] music-only audio track [] original theatrical trailer [] image gallery [] Press book PDF”

Keep It Up Network?
Apparently ‘Keep It Up Downstairs’ is among the 450 films in this deal, rumour is that Network will be releasing it on DVD next may.

That would leave Private Pleasures, Whats Up Superdoc and Erotic Inferno, as the only Mary Millington feature films yet to be given a legit DVD release. Keep It Up Downstairs hasn’t been seen in the UK since a VHS release in the 1990s and several (heavily cut) TV screenings on the Beep towards the end of that decade.

80 Further Lays
Mary’s
globetrotting adventures in the pre-fame softcore book ‘Around the World in 80Lays’ were evidentially enough of a success to warrant a follow up, which also
features Timothy Blackstone. Many thanks
to ‘ffucs’ for these scans from the sequel book, they can also be found as a
rar file here:
