TOFU, EP 1: BAD SEX
Let’s talk about sex! Welcome to Tofu, a documentary series – with sketch comedy and fantasy elements – in which the great British public, porn stars, and the casts of C4 shows Cucumber and Banana share their sex confessions – from their most awkward, unwieldy, disastrous encounters, to the most gloriously filthy and downright daring – and answer probing, personal questions about sex, sexuality, and getting laid in modern Britain.

 

TOFU, EP 2: GOOD SEX
Are you good in bed? And how do you know? The British public and the casts of Channel 4 shows Cucumber and Banana talk openly and honestly about the importance of cumming, whether size really matters, and the greatest, most glorious, headboard-banging, sheet-clenching, legs-trembling, hair-pulling, ass-smacking, thigh-bruising, back-scratching, lip-biting, explosive sexual encounters of their lives.

 

TOFU, EP 3: NOT HAVING SEX
Chloë, 54, has had to learn to make sex irrelevant, though she’ll go to her grave wishing she’d had more of it. Shirley, 58, has been celibate since 2000, but she’s happy with her vibrator, and Caroline, 57, would rather stay in and have a nice cup of coffee. But then there’s 33-year-old Gary, who’s haunted by the sex he’s missing out on, and Sarah, a 19-year-old virgin, who wants it, but can’t get it, and blames herself. Sex is everywhere. But not everyone is getting it.

 

TOFU, EP 4: COMING OUT
Is coming out really such a big deal anymore? In modern Britain, does anyone still care if you’re lesbian, gay, bi, trans, or queer? It still matters to 18-year-old Mark, who’s about to come out as gay to 40,000 people on YouTube – and he’s terrified. What will his straight mates think? And his mum? Is coming out once ever enough?

 

TOFU, EP 5: TEENAGE LUST
The great British public and the casts of Channel 4 shows Cucumber and Banana discuss the double-edged, hyper-sexual, hormonal awakening of teenagers, shipping gay porn stars, cuddling Keira Knightley, and the adolescent crushes that never go away. Plus, losing your virginity in the disabled loos of your local park. Well, you’re only young once.

 

TOFU, EP 6: TV SEX
If you make it, they will cum. The British public and the casts of Channel 4 shows Cucumber and Banana talk taste and decency, sexual politics, and sex, sex, sex on TV! As well as going behind the scenes on Cucumber and Banana, Tofu looks back at seminal Russell T Davies drama Queer as Folk, which broke new ground in the way that sex and sexuality were depicted on TV.

 

TOFU, EP 7: INSTASEX
Hook-up apps like Grindr and Tinder have given anyone with a smartphone instant access to casual sex in a way that websites, personal ads and, um, real life can only dream of. Sexual liberation at our fingertips! It’s straightforward – but is it sleazy? Dangerous, even? Should we rage against the machine, or embrace the apps? The British public, porn stars, and the casts of Channel 4 shows Cucumber and Banana consider whether no-strings sex with strangers is really as much fun as it sounds.

 

TOFU, EP 8: SMUT!
EXTENDED:
The final episode of the intimate documentary series in which the great British public and the casts of Channel 4 shows Cucumber and Banana reveal their filthiest fantasies and share their most outrageous sex stories – from a holiday threesome with a mother and daughter and BDSM with politicians and policemen, to grown men in nappies. It’s sex, turned up to 11! A smorgasbord of smut!
