- Synopsis:
- Eight short monologues were written for this series in response to the 50th anniversary of the passing of the Sexual Offences Act 1967, which decriminalized homosexual acts in private between two men aged 21 or over. Directed and produced by Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss, these eight short monologues explore an entire century of the LGBT experience in the UK. And it does so all from one pub: everything in 'Queers' - from a returning First World War soldier recalling a forbidden love, to an anxious husband-to-be prepping his speech for one of the first gay weddings - takes places in a single room.

A shame... - Queers. review by CP Customer
Disc 1 was okay, but Disc 2 is the same as the first disc!!! - Just 2 repeated in one shot. What's the point of that?

Curates Egg - Queers. review by CP Customer
Interesting concept of 8 short monologues from celebrated actors/writers covering various aspects of life in response to the 50th anniversary of the sexual offences act being passed. As in all concepts like this some where exceptional and others OK, which also impacted the performances of the actors concerned but who managed to get the message across.
