Alison Steadman Remembers Girl
National treasure Alison Steadman tells the story of one of the most groundbreaking and yet also most overlooked moments in British television. \n\nDespite the popular perception that Channel 4’s Brookside broadcast TV’s first lesbian kiss in 1994, in reality it was Alison and Myra Frances who first broke the taboo 20 years earlier, in the 1974 drama Girl. \n\nOnce thought lost forever, due to the fact that not every programme was archived back in those times, the drama later resurfaced, thanks to a random video recording – giving Alison the opportunity to share her memories of how she approached the moment and the reaction it received.
