"Watched Dr Who on television. Rubbish, but there's a young boy in it who is worth looking at... I mentally undress him.

No doubt this Orton fella was a good mate of Saville.

Not to worry. He was bludgeoned to death by his mentally disturbed lover.

Oh. Never heard of him until just now.

Apart from being a contemporary (of sorts) with JS ... I doubt if he would have associated with him. Kenneth Williams now .... someone you can't really accuse of anything sexual ... at all

Never seen Loot or Entertaining Mr Sloane ( the two films that were made of his plays)?

Two very darkly comic treats.

Jeez, I think you guys were taking a clearly humorous comment a bit too seriously there! Frazer Hines was hardly a "little boy" in Who for heaven's sake!

Frazier Hinds was about 20 at the time i think, same as Wendy Padbury of the famous sparkly arse on the Tardis console fame in 'The Mind Robber'.

Which begs the question - Who's up for a "inappropriately erotic Dr Who companion thread".

Obviously from the point of view of a teenage schoolboy.

I'll say no more except Lalla Ward. ( C'mon guys i was about 10 at first bite...gimme a break.)

Well, I'm actually quite a fan of Orton. So the intimation that he was similar to that inhuman scum did fill me with BLINDING RAGE ... but I hide it well ...

Next!!
