Dr Stephen Black looks at the work done by advice columnists and the reality behind the popular conception of them. (1972)

Every year in Britain more than half a million troubled people seem to find that they have no one else to turn to.

They all get an answer, and the tiny percentage of letters that appear in print give only the palest indication of the avalanche of sexual ignorance, personal anxiety, guilt and loneliness that the columnists are, every day, called upon to cope with. Who then, are these people who have to find all the answers - what is the reality behind those reassuring bylines?

Dr Stephen Black talks to Marjorie Proops of the Daily Mirror, Evelyn Home of Woman Claire Rayner of Petticoat, and Jane Firbank of the sex magazine Forum. Between them they deal with more than 100,000 letters a year. (1972)
