Tim Fountain knows more about sex than most people. His show, Sex Addict, was the target of widespread and vociferous critical media attention and led him to be labeled a pervert and a freak by much of the mainstream press. This, understandably, raised a few questions in his mind. Was his sex life really so different to the rest of Britain? Or was he just being rather more vocal about what he was up to? To find out, Tim has traveled around the UK, starting in Bradford at the site of his first 14-year-old fumble, to take the sexual temperature of our age. Visiting doll-fetishists and animal-fanciers, dogging fans and spanking enthusiasts, swingers' hotels and glory holes, Tim investigates our current attitudes on sex, peeping behind closed doors and exploring the private lives of Britons in an attempt to discover just what is going on beneath their stiff upper lips.

So You Want to be a Playwright?: How to write a play and get it produced

Fountain paints his story agaisnt the backdrop of Crisp's colourful and controversial life and sheds some light on the intriguing events leading up to his death. It is a compelling portrait of man who Fountain calls a 'great, glittering contradiction': a man who flaunted his sexuality at a time when the penalty for buggery was gaol, a man whose very name epitomised style and yet lived alone in abject poverty in a room he refused to clean and a man who confidently declared at the height of the AIDS epidemic that he 'didn't believe it existed'.
