MY BIG GAY PROM

PROGRAMME 2

PROGRAMME OUTLINE

00:00 – 04:28

The team tracks down the gay teenagers to a picnic being held as part of the Europride festival in Regent's Park. They distribute 2,000 prom leaflets at the event.

04:29 – 08:09

Zac has trouble booking a big name act. He talks about the lack of positive gay role models for gay teens. Ivan arranges for Zac to meet Ben Summerskill, chief executive of gay rights organisation Stonewall, who gives him a few useful contacts.

08:10 – 12:22

Both Zac and Faye are becoming disillusioned. Ivan calls in gay club host and TV personality Amy Lamé to boost motivation levels and act as a role model for the girls.

12:23 – 18:37

The team are left to cope when Zac abandons a press conference being held to officially launch the prom. Zac is fired as the team finally lose patience.

18:38 – 25:01

With things seemingly falling into place, everyone focuses on sales. Amy realises, however, that Faye has not taken care of details. She takes Faye to a club night to see how an event should be run. We hear more of Faye's story.

25:02 – 28:36

The team hit the streets in an attempt to shift tickets. The prom is advertised on Gaydar Radio, and the committee is interviewed by Julian Bennett of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy UK fame. Ivan takes Arfur for a final pep talk before the event.

28:37 – 41:57

It's the day of the prom. The tension is cranked up as the prom organisers face a catalogue of final day hitches. Last minute preparations are completed, and finally the gay prom goes ahead.

41:58 – 48:30

The committee has one task left – to choose candidates for prom king and queen. The event over, we hear a final word from everyone involved.
