  • yeah there were so many amazing victorian loos, now mostly gone, and for a man in his late seventies with a real need to piss often, this is a physical as well as an aesthetic one. p.s. I will be on resonance throughout March and April with DEAN STALHAM x

  • That's just brilliant, it equals Betcheman. You've allways intrigued me, Dudlely. Keep up the good work.

  • @henrycaville you seen the leather boys? he's not wooden in that

  • he was good in the leather boys

  • Wonderful Dudley. Was chatting to a fella tonight who knows you from the Chelsea Arts. Always admired your work, from The Devils to The Sweeney to the wonderful Connie in Shine on Harvey Moon. This is a great little piece!

  • Great Video!

    We have started filming our documentary - The Strange Decline of the English Cottage - a light-hearted, irreverent, look at sex in public places and gay history. Some great interviews so far about Tom Driberg and John Gielgud. We're looking for cottagers, cruisers, sauna-goers, polari speakers and people who use Gaydar who want to talk on camera or off about their experiences.

  • i was on set with this man today filming cockney vs zombies :)

  • This is fantastic, great fun and so true, Absolutely wonderful

    It would have been great if this could have been filmed in the Toilet on Shoreditch High Street, It had the attendants office and marble walls and reminded me of Dan Dan the sanitary mans WC in Carry On Spying.

  • A much needed recognition of a much needed but sadly almost completely extinct harmless bygone pastime, COTTAGING, some interesting and exciting memories have been conjured up by this loverly poem and video. I first heard this on Resonance FM. I have my own homage to the lav trade on my channel (sgray305) titled (Industrious Cottager) hope you can view it....Cheers...

  • What a God awful mess, is my God awful ass/Such painful contractions, but then this too shall pass/Either chock-full of feces, or volumes of gas/What a God awful mess, is my God awful ass.

  • Put a penny in, relax and go in

    Don’t be shy, join in
