I just read The Naked Civil Servant again, but after many years.

It's even better than I remembered.

He was very handsome when he was young, don't you think?

Great hair. LOL.

Only on DL.

No dear. He's got the body of a pipe cleaner and he ended up looking like Dame Sybil Thorndike.

He had more guts than anyone around here. He was a giant walking "bash me" billboard when nobody else was.

But was he shamed and arrested by the morality police like poor Johnny on 20 October 1953.

He took abuse from straights and then after that mostly stopped, he had to take shit from the gays for setting a bad example.

WTF with that hair?

I believe the hair was also fire engine red.

In the younger picture, he looks like Ernest Thesiger.

He really does look OK in that pic, but if you've read about his sanitary standards, you know that he probably smelled like mothballs, cabbage, and poo.

One of my favorite books ever. John Hurt is also incredible in the tv movie version.
