This was back when women were alien space creatures that didn't exist. They were the other. It's disappointing that Jimmy Saville's answer to the question of "What I Want in a Wife" wasn't more creepy. People will probably laugh at us in thirty years.
Sidney Shipton is a man after my own heart. "She should be reasonably attractive and intelligent, but not more intelligent than me". I can get behind that. He seems to have been one of those quasi-celebrities who might have been familiar to people who read the newspapers in 1975, but not otherwise.
When they asked Ian McKellen what he looked for in a wife I'm curious as to whether McKellen made a pact with the interviewer to go along with the charade, or whether he went along because he felt he had to.
Oh, this was covered on this very website in 2017. It's from Cosmopolitan:What I Want In A Wife article from Cosmopolitan (April 1972) - least vile man on this list?

Sheila Ravenscroft was indeed shorter than John Peel.

The Rod Hull and friends shoot couldn’t have been 91 as UK Gladiators only started in 92

"she doesn't exist" is barely going along with the charade, though.

looks like the Rod Hull/Scorpio Turkey photoshoot is from 1 December 1992, the other pictures with Faith Brown, Ronnie Corbett etc are a different photoshoot from 20 November 1991

If only Immanuel Velikovsky was still alive. He would come up with a theory that the 1991 British Turkey Christmas photoshoot was actually the same photoshoot as the 1992 British Turkey Christmas photoshoot, and that our current dating of UK Gladiators was incorrect. And that the year 1990 did not happen. And that Not with a Bang and Lazarus and Dingwall were in fact the same television programme.

There are many other David Hamiltons out there, including the main indie DJ in Southampton in the 90s and an extremely dodgy photographer.

amazing that a 70s Radio 1 DJ is neither the dodgiest David Hamilton nor the dodgiest Diddy
