No Wire Hangers Dr Gaby Malcolm

Faking it through your children. Gaby and Sarah discuss how fame and fortune has affected three different families in the showbiz and reality arenas. 

What is the impact of early childhood fame, and what if your father refuses to let you go to school? Dream come true, or recipe for a nightmare?

Diversions include the restoration of hairdressers and beauticians as the UK lockdown eases!!

Gaby and Sarah resume their exploration of faking it in popular culture and the media. How camp does that make you - if you have to maintain a facade from childhood onwards for the sake of other people's bank balances - and at the cost of your own sanity, sometimes?

With diversions into rose-gold Rolls Royces, as well as which Gaby plugs her appearance on Channel 5's 'In Jane Austen's Footsteps' (Viacom UK) and also forgets what a vocal fry is for the whole episode and then salvages it at the end. 

What makes a person from a privileged, well-off, white family turn their identity into that of a different nationality or ethnic group - and one that might have traditionally been more disadvantaged? Is it just the attention? The money? And what about the pressure to keep the pretence going??

Gaby and Sarah look at some recent high-profile cases from Rachel Dolezal to influencer Hilary "Hilaria" Baldwin. Diversions along the way involve just how desperate we are for pedicures!

Happy 2021 - and join Gaby and Sarah for the first episode of Season 2 in which they go deep with the secret life of Hollywood heart-throb Rock Hudson. They pay tribute to his gorgeousness and bravery and the hard choices he had to make in order to maintain a career and a private life, and then go public with his health status in 1985.

Along the way, they drop in on lock-down issues and of course give the legend that is Liz Taylor her due!

White Diamonds are Forever!

In our season 1 finale, Gaby and Sarah contemplate the heyday of Judy Garland's career and officially dub her a Queen of Camp!

Happy 2021 y'all!!

For this episode we're in tears in tiers. Tier 2 restrictions mean that Gaby and Sarah are socially distanced (that's why the sound quality is what it is) - but that doesn't stop us getting emotionally involved in the early life and times of Judy Garland. From the 'Baby' Gumm sister she travels Over The Rainbow thanks to the pushiest mother of all pushy show-biz Moms - Ethel Gumm.

Join us for Judy, the first of a two-parter.
