Last week at the Cannes Film Festival, Sacha Baron Cohen's new masterpiece Borat premiered.
Apparently, the film's highlight is a scene where Baron Cohen's eponymous Kazakhstani TV presenter and his offsider Azamat wrestle nude in their hotel room. The action spills out into the hotel lift and then down on to the
stage of an insurance conference.
According to reports, the audience is suitably horrified by the spectacle, although Backchat is convinced that the average Biba audience has seen much, much worse, mentioning no names.
But we'd love to hear from anyone who was in the audience. Were you one of the poor people who witnessed these depraved antics?
