A big screen kiss on the small screen. 19 seconds that changed TV - eventually!

Back in early 1994, and just before DIVA was first published,  Channel 4's Brookside caused a major media sensation when it aired a 19 second lesbian snog between Beth (Anna Friel) & Margaret (Nicola Stephenson). This was the first lesbian kiss on a UK TV soap. It aired just post watershed! How far have we come since then? Yes we've had EastEnders, Skins and Corrie since but given that You-tube are ask new visitors  for age verification to view this i'd say there is still a way to go!
