Diving deep into all things ’90s… Which TV moments stick with you forever? If you were growing up queer in the 90s, some of those scenes went beyond fond memory and became monumentally life-affirming. From Two of Us to Queer as Folk, Brookside to Coronation Street, ’90s TV was peppered with script-writing that brought the LGBTQ+ experience to the fore, sometimes facing moral outrage, backlash and censorship, and often changing the tapestry of modern culture forever. Writer, broadcaster, podcaster and “utter TV-head” Scott Bryan joins us to talk about the impact of these moments; growing up in the shadow of Section 28; and his book Out Now: A Queer Journey Through Modern Television – which is, well, out now.
