"If readers can get past the somewhat inaccurate title (there are many non-British listings in this work), they will have a hard time ever putting it down. There are over 3,000 entries covering characters in fiction, real-life people, professions, character names, abstract subjects, film and program titles, and much more in the realm of English-language cinema, television, and radio (primarily from Britain, but also from the United States and Australia)." Library Journal
"If readers can get past the somewhat inaccurate title (there are many non-British listings in this work), they will have a hard time ever putting it down. There are over 3,000 entries covering characters in fiction, real-life people, professions, character names, abstract subjects, film and program titles, and much more in the realm of English-language cinema, television, and radio (primarily from Britain, but also from the United States and Australia). There are numerous cross-references, which will keep the reader thumbing though, looking up favorite TV shows, movies, actors, and situations for hours at a time. The author himself justly proclaims in the preface: "But, for now, rejoice! This is homosexuality run amok through Britain's lounges, parlours and dining-rooms." Strongly recommended for large academic and public libraries." (Library Journal, 4/1/94, Vol. 119 Issue 6, p90)
