Two of Us (1987 film)

Two of Us (also released as The Two of Us on home video) is a 1987 gay-themed BBC television film written by Leslie Stewart and directed by Roger Tonge.

It confronted the Thatcherite government's attempt to ban gay sex education in schools via the controversial (and since repealed) section 28 legislation.

[1] Given this backdrop, the BBC opted not to show it during the day and it was screened late at night, even though it was originally created for a school audience.

[2][3] The film centres on the life of Phil, a fun loving student in his final year at British secondary school.

Tired of the complications of life at home, Phil and Matthew decide to elope to the coastal resort of Seaford on the Sussex coast.
