'Gay Life' UK TV Magazine Show from 1980. PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL

from The Problematic Gaze

PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL Greetings from PG Towers! Join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV Producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV,  Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear.  This week we kick start our special month of shows, curated to celebrate Pride Month. We take a look at a pioneering magazine show, first broadcast in the UK in 1980. We visit Heaven Nightclub and The Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London. We watch interviews with Drag Queens, Leather Queens and everyone in between. Filmed before the AIDS epidemic, this programme offers a unique insight into the lives of LGBTQ+ people in a time of transition, and explore what it was like to grow up queer in the early 80's.If you want to watch our chosen episode of Gay Life, the UK magazine show from 1980.
