TV THEME SONG PLAYS Good evening, I'm Ian Dury.
And I'm Janice Long. We've got ten minutes in which to
answer a few of the basic questions that people have been asking about
Aids. VOICEOVER: As newspapers continued
to print homophobic headlines, British television took
a different approach. In March '87, all four channels
collaborated to produce Aids Week - themed programming to teach
a panicked nation about safer sex. Intercourse with a condom
ought to be a low risk. Why isn't it? Claire Rayner. Well, it is, if you use the right
equipment and use it properly. First of all, choose quality. Look for the kitemark. Aids Week. That was... Yeah, you could not
move on television without seeing condoms
being put on bananas. Fit it firmly over
the top of the penis. Now, this is a rather wooden,
hard penis. A nice human one is soft and easier
to handle
