THE REAL STANLEY BAXTER by Brian Beacom (Luath Press £20) Baxter, who won countless awards for his television spectaculars, has, at the age of 94, decided to come out as homosexual in this riveting authorised biography. It would’ve been more surprising if he’d come out as heterosexual, as Glasgow’s answer to Ethel Merman was always very campy, and thoroughly at home in a frock. Nevertheless, Baxter always dreaded ‘what people will think of me . . . I never wanted to be gay. I still don’t’.
