Two very different programmes from two very decent men who both happen to be gay. Richard on Grief was wonderful on Ch4 with only one seriously missing element - where was God any help? Tom on the global bigotry about gays was frightening but effective - what I liked most was his ability to adapt his thoughts as he gained wisdom. So few can do this at his age. I find even those in their 40s incredibly narrow minded; unable of any complexity of thought. Well done to both.

Richard Coles autobiography is a very good read. It cuts the crap and he admits all.

He knew he fucked up when he found fame and lied to Jimmy Jimmy Somerville after having a string of arguments. It's a shame The Communards were a short lived band I think their music is still great, no doubt they would still tour today every once in an while if they got on.
