Jack H - I know that your post is an elementary attempt at humour, but on a serious note, I wonder if it actually helps. Wishaw is certainly gay and Norman Scott certainly was and the performance was brilliant, but there are loads of straights playing gays that are equally brilliant - John Hurt etc etc. There are of course, also load of gays playing straights to huge plaudits. We should do a top ten

having watched the documentary afterwards i got the the impression that the real norman scott was far more intelligent than the character portrayed in the play.

Barrowboy - Indeed, and far more intelligent than the press then and now, and history in general portrays him. In the documentary, that followed episode 3, I found him a credible witness of the peculiar events.

New blood in the party - Clement Freud and Cyril Smith. Not surprised at the decent lunch given to Jeremy, chosen and supplied by Clement himself. AND........I've always liked Cod with Parsley Sauce....and still do. nb - I've never voted Liberal |

The judge got Scott bang to rights: a fraud, a sponger, a whiner, a parasite. He was a pretty boy who lived off Thorpe and off the women we saw in the series. At best he was air-headed and inadequate; at worst a blackmailer. Norman Scott might have been the victim in this squalid affair but let us not make him a saint. |

Some interesting points, Blackie, and we have H Grant playing a gay. Each to his own of course, but I wouldn't fancy kissing a man like he did.
I would imagine it would be more of a challenge to play a gay/straight part if inclined otherwise. |

It is called acting. There must be lots of lady actors who don't fancy 90 per cent of the men they snog in films.
