The Life and Death of Lily Savage

Paul O'Grady became a much-loved fixture of TV and radio. However, for more than 20 years he was a razor-tongued drag queen. Set against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher's Britain, Clause 28 and the Aids crisis, this is the story of the star through the prism of his famous creation, Lily Savage. The documentary features Paul's closest friends and family, including his daughter Sharyn Mousley and sister Sheila Rudd, and interviews with Ian McKellen, Julian Clary, Jo Brand, Alan Carr and Graham Norton among others

The Life and Death of Lily Savage airs on ITV1 Meridian HD at 11:15 PM, Monday 18 November. (Subtitles, repeat, audio description.)
