Kevin Elyot: 1951-2014

Playwright and scriptwriter.

Clapham Junction - probably the most stunning, powerful, truthful and complex gay TV drama ever made - is available on 4OD.

Edit: 'This programme is not currently on 4oD'. Oops! Sorry, didn't scroll down. Will leave the above as a permanent testament to my own monumental fuckwittery. All I could find online was this weird mash-up thing. Come on Channel 4, get it together! x

PS Apparently this link might work. I give up. It's been one of those days...

  1. I was thinking about 'Clapham Junction' again only recently. I was so depressed by it when I first saw that it sort of pissed me off a bit, but I knew how truthful and powerful it was. I was thinking about it in light of all the unrealistic shit that gets made about gay people now - the positive sort of white-washed stuff and I realised just how good and brave it was. I came to the conclusion that it probably wouldn't be made now.

    1. If they made it today, the couple who get gaymarried would adopt some babies and live happily ever after... :)
