“Peter Wyngarde stars in Britain’s earliest surviving gay TV drama.”
The earliest surviving gay-themed British TV drama South stars Peter Wyngarde as Lt Jan Wicziewsky who visits a southern plantation as the American Civil War looms. The arrival of Eric MacClure (Gould) forces Wicziewsky to face up to his darkest secret: his love for another man. Barely two years after the Wolfenden Report homosexuality was still taboo – making Wyngarde’s impassioned performance all the more extraordinary.
