A Change of Sex. With Julia Grant

Director: David Pearson
Release Year: 1980

Synopsis:
"THE UNSEEN focus of A Change of Sex (BBC 2) has been Julia Grant's psychiatrist, an offscreen personality of Dickensian force. When she first encountered him, she was a he, George Roberts, a young man seeking referral for a sex change operation. That long, slow process was first documented by David Pearson in 1979, in films that have been repeated over the last two weeks. For the final programme, broadcast last night, she had returned to see whether the scars had healed. "

"It was also one of the best documentaries ever made and set the standard that all other future transgender documentaries followed. This now sadly demonstrates just how bad UK television has become from these flagship days!"
