Straight and narrow minded homophobia, n., intense hatred or fear of homosexuals or homosexuality.
NEW COLLINS DICTIONARY
Stephen Burn , a gay journalist, has made this programme to highlight a prejudice which every day confronts people like him. It loses lesbian women and gay men their jobs, forces them out of their homes, causes them to be imprisoned and sadly drives some to suicide. Based on fear and ignorance, homophobia is on the increase. Its growth can be stopped but only when discrimination is tackled head on. Film cameraman JOHN RECORD Film editor KEVIN HINCHEY
Series producer PETER LEE-WRIGHT Producer GERRY POMEROY
Open Space is the series where the public can make programmes under their own editorial control helped by the Community Programme Unit

After failures in the case of the Yorkshire Ripper, the Home Secretary promised the harnessing for such investigations of the best detective and forensic skills in the country, and the use of computer technology. Has this happened? New technology is now available on both sides of the Atlantic and may increase the chances of solving these disturbing crimes. Narrator Paul Vaughan Film editor COLIN JONES
