Excerpt from Gill's diary: '...put my p in her a hole... THIS MUST STOP!'

There's also a BBC scandal about Gill. He was commissioned to make the little boy sculpture above the door to Broadcasting House. He made one with a plump little penis. Lord Reith disapproved. But sculptures of the naked human form had been made throughout history, so the prudes at the BBC found a pseudo-scientific way to censor the piece. They brought in the headmaster of a boys' school and asked him if, from his experience, the penis represented, in size, the average British schoolboy. He said no, it was too big. So, to Gill's dismay, a janitor was sent up a ladder and planed the organ down to size.
