Late Night Line-Up | Man Alive (BBC 1967)

Michael Dean hosts a discussion about the two-part 'Man Alive' report on homosexuality in Britain. The panellists, writer Maureen Duffy, social psychologist Michael Schofield, Conservative MP Ray Mawby and an unnamed general practitioner, debate whether it was appropriate to show the programmes at 8pm and question the broadcasts' balance in only including homosexual contributors. The conversation also covers wider issues, including people being blackmailed because of their sexuality, homosexuals working in positions of trust and the consideration that one in 20 people might be gay. At the time of this programme's broadcast, doctors were not allowed to be identified on BBC television in case this was interpreted as an advert for their practice. It is for this reason that the GP is not named here. This was filmed and broadcast shortly before The Sexual Offences Act 1967 came in to force which decriminalised homosexual acts in private between two consenting men who had attained the age of 21. It only affected England and Wales.
