The BBC continues to mark the centenary of - newly rehabilitated - playwright Terence Rattigan with the third part of Radio 4's The Rattigan Versions, and the great and sympatico Mark Lawson interviewing Adrian Brown, director and Rattigan's lover in the 50s. A fascinating glimpse into closeted gay life in Wolfenden-era Britain - Brown describes always having to walk a few steps behind his boyfriend - which the deeply closeted Terence Rattigan now seems to typify.
(Rattigan's old Brighton house is just round the corner from Fagburn Mansions, incidentally).
