Two Of Us (1987 Film)
''Two of Us'' is a 1987 gay-themed BBC television film written by Leslie Stewart and directed by Roger Tonge. It was produced for the BBC Schools ''Scene'' series, and intended for young adults. It confronted the Thatcherite government's attempt to ban gay sex education in schools via the controversial (and since repealed) section 28 legislation.

However, Matthew is gay, and dropped out of school the previous year as a means of escaping the abuse of the classroom, only for the dis ...
