Tony Blackburn on BBC Radio 1 reads out a letter that mentions a someone who is “a real man, not just a big poof”. Meanwhile, BBC Radio 3 runs a balanced programme explaining homosexuality to listeners. Sticking with TV, Alan Whicker’s Yorkshire Television programme The Lord is my Shepherd and He Knows I’m Gay has just aired. You can now get it on DVD.

Reviews include Absurd Person Singular at the Criterion and Scorpio starring Alan Delon.

Inflation

To obtain approximate values for money allowing for inflation, times 1972 prices by 11.5; 1973 by 10.5; 1974 by 9; and 1975 by 7.5.

For instance, £1 in 1972 is £11.50 in today’s money.
