In 1954, the BBC made its first-ever documentary about male homosexuality. At
the time, the topic was so taboo that the finished radio programme was
promptly banned. It sat on the shelves for three years until a heavily
edited version was broadcast in 1957. Then it was lost. All that survived
was a forgotten transcript of the original recording, remarkably
rediscovered after seventy years. With special agreement from the BBC, it
is brought to life by award-winning writer Stephen M Hornby in a newly
expanded dramatisation, directed by award-winning director Oli Hurst.
