In general the television series made the parents more liberal more inclined to include the school in sex education and broadened the number of topics named as worthy of inclusion. Press reaction to sex education reflected the extremes of both sides. Among the mothers 76.8% felt sex education was needed rising to 86.5% in higher socioeconomic groups. 53.1% who had not seen the series and 35.1% of those who had felt the family alone should handle it. 27.7% who had not seen and 41.9% who had seen the series felt home and school should work together.
