In honour of Pride month \u2013 which takes place in June in the UK \u2013 the BBC has unveiled a slate of titles across broadcast and radio to celebrate 50 years of Pride.<\/p>\n

Programmes will focus on the LGBTQ+ experience, and will be broadcast on BBC Two, BBC Three and BBC Four, as well as land on iPlayer as collections. On radio, the likes of Loud and Proud, special music programming and podcasts will also be available on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.<\/p>\n

New programming includes a brand new BBC Two documentary titled AIDS: In Our Own Words. The three-parter will mark the 40th anniversary of Terry Higgins\u2019 death. There will also be two brand new documentaries arriving on BBC Four: Italian coming-of-age tale Into My Name: Storyville and Gateways Grind, about the the famous lesbian club in King\u2019s Road, presented by Sandi Toksvig.<\/p>

On BBC Three, new series Big Proud Party Agency will see Ryan Lanji, Teddy Edwardes and Christopher Mills compete to throw epic events for best friends in need of a celebration. Surprise proposals, 18th birthday parties and wrestling comebacks will all put the party agents\u2019 planning skills to the test.<\/p>\n

Radio 4 is set to take a look at David Bowie\u2019s androgynous creation in Ziggy Stardust at 50, while Fifty Years of Pride delves into the history of the first Gay Pride march in London.<\/p>\n
