Description
Out Now is a nostalgia trip through 90s and 2000s television, looking at how LGBTQ+ representation has changed over time. In this warm, funny and moving exploration, TV critic and broadcaster Scott Bryan takes us through the early tentative explorations on soaps such as Coronation Street, the landscape-altering sitcom Queer as Folk, right to the present and the teen phenomenon, Heartstopper.
Featuring interviews with writers, producers, actors and journalists, we see how these stories were brought to life, as well as the response in society at the time. Scott explores the role these TV shows had in changing perceptions and the importance of representation as a young man growing up gay in the 90s, sharing his own memories of seeing these shows for the first time.
Perfect for any lover of 90s and 2000s nostalgia and for television fans everywhere, Out Now is a testament to the power of TV in changing minds and reflecting the world around us, celebrating the incredible work of countless people who brought these stories to the small screen.
