Heart of the Matter

on BBC One London

Consenting Adults ?
Britain has the highest age of consent for gay men anywhere in western Europe, 21 years, while other countries range from 12 to 18. Should it be reduced? As Parliament prepares to debate the issue, Joan Bakewell talks to those who believe that the law as it stands encourages blackmail and the spread of Aids, and others who feel that it is fair for society to treat gay men differently.
