This is a truly great documentary that reminds us of the failures that were to befall this unfortunate young woman. I am constantly fed up with all of the so called series on TV now that portrays the 60's & 70's as a "groovy, tolerant & fair" society. This reminds us all of what things really were like. The Man Alive documentaries certainly didn't pull any punches.
Amazing television. 50 years on its still so haunting and so sad
Interesting old documentary, I'm an old addict, over 36 years of addiction, I'm also an artist, glad I found this channel, I like watching old documentaries , I'm going to watch the other parts tonight, thanks for posting this, it's very common now but when this was made it won't have been 👍
Remember watching this at secondary school and having to write an essay on it.
The poem at the beginning is that of an abused child wishing she could bite or sting her abuser. Abandoned by her mother into one of the most notorious homes for child abuse. I shudder to think of the abuse she suffered and no wonder she felt she was better off dead. This poor poor girl who was probably only naughty her hole life as she was fighting against the abuse. In them days they just shipped you off to a metal institute to cover the hidden abuse. It’s so sad she just wanted to work with children in a children’s home most likely to protect them ....RIP you beautiful soul ... IF WE DON’T STAND UP FOR CHILDREN WE DON’T STAND FOR MUCH ❤️ I send love to all the Beechholme children god bless you all xxxxx
JIMMY SAVILLE and CYRIL SMITH, no it was all a cover-up for it!
do you know what the title is? i've been looking for it everywhere but can't find it
Did you ever manage to find it?
Thanks for the upload. My older sister had the book. This was the first time I heard of just a young woman - not any artist or whatever - who could die on taking drugs. It impressed me in such a way that I never in my life took drugs.
Hi - what was the book called? Thanks
@@handofsutekh If I'm not mistaken, the title was "Gail is dead"
I am so pleased it had that effect,
Jenny
HEIL SATAN!!!!!! 666!!!!!!
She never stood a chance from the minute of conception. Ignorance, arrogance, class..all played a part by all the adults involved.
How easily a future generation is wiped out .
She could have had great grandchildren in 2022.
Prayers for Gale - but much admiration too.
Life dealt her a shit hand, and she refused to play.
Very Sad, RIP Gail 🙏
Jon Wedger sent me here.
Her mother should be ashamed of herself 😠
It's a shame we never got to hear her interview. It may be retained somewhere. The film said her mother had gone to a public (i.e. private) school, so she must've had a good background. Her grandmother was also at the funeral, we heard nothing of her aside from that. I wonder if Gale's mother went on to have other children.
As I write this comment, 5 Jan 2024, Gale would still be only 72 or 73 were she alive.
RIP Gale Parsons, d 11 Feb 1970, aged 19.
Thank you,
Jenny
this is a unique collection of documentaries Jenny but, at least on my computer they all come up very dark tone.
5:55 I mean people will blame her because it was self-evidently entirely her fault all that happened.
Entire programme: th-cam.com/video/zLL1G_WtpLY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Bz2Uzxlvy-6oUz5r or BBC iPlayer under "Man Alive" at present. Her name was spelt Gale, not Gail.
Nothing can bring her back to me.
Seeing those children doing exercising on a dusty dirty floor (8:19) was not unusual I remember it well you could actually see their clothing getting filthy
Out of curiosity I must have a word with my grandson to see if they still practice this customary habit of sitting children on the floor.
Duper's Delight @ 9:31. You don't fool me.
OF COURSE FAKE, IT'S A COVER UP FOR SCHOOLS VERSION, WHICH IS COVER UP FOR VIP CHILD ABUSE!
Does anyone know how to contact Jenny? I am researching women documentary makers in the 1970s and it would be so incredibly helpful to be able to contact her but her website is no longer online. Thank you.
Hi Kate, I am in regular contact with Jenny. I have passed this to her. She said can you please let me know how to contact you so that I can also pass that on to her. Michele

I think you should have a chat with your doctor.
Silent Scream by Slayer, is a great song for Gale Is Dead!@@numberstation
Listen to death metal songs like possessed by Satan by Gorgoroth, imagine Jimmy Saville playing it before going to abuse kids like Gale!
Imaging all the kids being screwed up by being shown the other version of this in school.
Then imagine some sickie head banger visiting a sperm bank!
@@control5835 Yes, I’m sure you think it is. Now, show your carer what you’ve been writing on here because they may think your medication needs altering.
