The Problematic Gaze
Join Lee and Dave for lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture of yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. Should they be 'cancelled' or celebrated? What can we learn from them? Does the mention of 'Mrs Slocombe's pussy' send you into hysterical laughter or moral outrage? Or are you just as confused as us as to how we should feel? Perhaps a glass of wine would help?

The Problematic Gaze
Ep 18: 'Heartstopper" Teen Drama from 2024. The Kids are Alright!
Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week we unite once again in the penthouse boardroom of PG Towers. We come bang up to date to cast our gaze over the latest series of Netflix coming of age teen drama Heartstopper. How has LGBTQIA+ representation on television advanced over the decades? And what can two self confessed 'old gays' learn from Nick, Charlie and their friends? Turns out, quite a lot!
Also, Lee's X-Rated Meryl Streep dream! And is Dave living in a secret KKK stronghold in leafy Hertfordshire?
Heartstopper Season 3 Episode 1 is available now on Netflix.
