About this catalogue & access

This catalogue brings together selected television and radio programmes, interviews and archival recordings relating to LGBTQ+ histories in Britain. Its themes include law reform, coming out, community broadcasting and HIV/AIDS, alongside questions of representation and public debate.

Entries are grouped by the year recorded in the catalogue. Some links lead to extracts or related archival footage rather than complete broadcasts.

Programmes are hosted on external platforms. Access may require an institutional or personal account and may be restricted by location.
