Conservative Party that they had never implemented an Agricultural Charter. He condemned the Labour Government's Agricultural Training Board which, he said was "vehemently opposed by the majority of farmers" and which included on its board of twelve, three men from Transport House. "What", he asked, "was their knowledge of agriculture and what was their purpose on the board". Television career Wentworth Day briefly achieved minor public notice during 1957 and 1958, when he performed as the resident reactionary in Daniel Farson's television series for the company Associated-Rediffusion, most famously Out of Step and People in Trouble. Farson stated that he did not agree with Wentworth Day's sentiments, which were perceived as racist and xenophobic by many people even during the 1950s. For instance, in the programme People in Trouble during a discussion concerning mixed marriages, Wentworth Day referred to "coffee-coloured little imps" and claimed that black people must be "inferior" because "in many cases their grandfathers were eating each other". Farson usually chuckled along with the comments and ended them with a remark similar to "I completely disagree with you, but at least you say what you really feel". However, Wentworth Day was dismissed from Farson's series after he claimed, while contributing to a programme concerning transvestism, that all gay people should be hanged. At the time, homosexual acts were illegal under the Sexual Offences Act 1956, but not punished with death. Farson, who was gay, was afraid Wentworth Day might get him into legal trouble and insisted that the programme be omitted, theoretically because the Independent Television Authority would ban it anyway. Wentworth Day continued to write until soon before his death. He also endorsed traditional farming methods and opposed the use of pesticides; these opinions were expressed in his book Poison on the Land (1957). Personal life During his early years Wentworth Day had several unsuccessful engagements as well as two failed marriages to Helen Alexia Gardom (1925-1934) and Nerina Shute (1936-1943). He married New Zealander Marion McLean in 1943 and the couple had one daughter together, remaining married until his death. He died in Ingatestone, Essex aged 83. At his funeral, the huntsmen of six local packs bore his coffin as pallbearers. Books Note: The list below is probably incomplete and some of the dates may be inaccurate.
