CGiii Comment
Wilde's grandson speaks of his grandfather as if he knew him personally - he didn't.
Lord Alfred's great, great niece spouts guilt and shame - she is a 'Lady' - who works in a prison.
And, a thoroughly objectionable academic who calls Wilde and Whitman 'queers'...
There's an 'idiot' who is convinced that Wilde became gay because he didn't have enough money to have more children.
WHAT A LOAD OF NONSENSE.
Academic speculation and an inferior documentary.
No trailer...

A Timewatch documentary from 1995 which presents an authoritative portrait of Oscar Wilde and his remarkable family. It features interviews with the writer’s grandson, Merlin Holland and Lady Alice Douglas, great grand-niece to his lover. Martin Shaw is the voice of Wilde in this programme which contextualises the plays and provides the truth about Oscar Wilde.
