Outrageous is The Queer History of Australian TV when homosexuality was illegal and just four broadcast channels dictated what could be seen. During the sexy 70s, LGBT people dominated the biggest shows on TV and this is the definitive guide of why that happened, and how the queer and broader communities responded (plot spoiler – they loved it!).
Acclaimed TV Historian Andrew Mercado explores this forgotten history as seen on classic shows like Prisoner, Fast Forward, A Country Practice, The Flying Doctors, The Box, Homicide and Four Corners.
With a Foreword by Joe Hasham
