My name is Jamie O'Neill; I am mentioned in this article: for this reason I am loath to comment. But the truth is that Russell was not HIV+. Russell contracted Hepatitis C, and he died of liver failure brought on by that condition. Any glance at the broadsheet newspapers of the time will confirm this, or a reading of Alan Bennett's eulogy, where he describes Russell as having "died of the wrong disease" -- AIDS, in 1988, being the correct disease to die of, if one were homosexual. In case this should seem like an attempt at whitewashing, let me add that Hepatitis C, then as now, for Western males, was considered no less a transmitted-by-sex disease than HIV.

I almost choked when Harty interviewed David Bowie on his new record: "- Golden Tears". "- No, it's Years... Golden Years!"
Did these BBC and BBC2 chatshows he hosted (mentioned in the fifth paragraph of "Broacasting career") have any names or titles? I see hardly any mention other than "Harty's chatshow". 199.120.30.198 ( talk) 05:09, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
In its current form the article cites Alan Bennett re: Harty's third-class degree, then backs this up by citing Harty's entry in the Dictionary of National Biography, though as this was also written by Alan Bennett it's essentially the same source.
