When he did, he was a positive presence and represented an alternative version of masculinity. When you\\u2019re trying to condense your history into an hour-long show, you have to leave some bits out. But there\\u2019s also something inside me that doesn\\u2019t want to deconstruct my dad. I don\\u2019t want to mess too much with the positive parts of my childhood.\\n\\nThis episode is about masculinity, privilege and performance.\\n\\n\\nArtwork by my brother Tony Pickering:\\xa0http://www.pick-art.co.uk/\\n\\nThe BPA Fund has a survey that I\\u2019d really appreciate you filling in if you have a few moments.
