Play a few bars of Hot Chocolate’s song You Sexy Thing, and chances are anyone over forty in the vicinity will be instantly transported - not to the soul train of 1975 when the song was released, but to a dingy club on the outskirts of Sheffield in 1997, where a group of middle-aged men are preparing to remove their clothing.
This is a song that is synonymous with The Full Monty: that rip-roaring, scandalous, heart-breaking film about a group of men who had been laid off from the local steelworks in Sheffield – but thought they might be able to make a bit of money by putting on a male strip show.
