I thought after [I'd played the character], I'll reveal I'd researched it, and people would say gosh, you've taken this really difficult subject and done something amazing. I'll do this thing, and everyone will think I'm wonderful. I thought if I pulled it off, everyone would admire me. And I'm a slut for approval. During the trial he revealed that he had been raped by a family friend when he was eight.
What is seared in my memory is lying in bed with this guy with his arm round me afterwards, and he told me that I'd done well. And I was so relieved that he approved of me. And at the same time, at just eight years old, I thought, fucking hell, are you this much of a slut for a kind word? Would you do this much for a kind word?
And I'd carried that all my life. In Langham's mind, it is all connected — the rape, his craving for approval, the alcoholism, and the arrogance, which was just camouflage for shame. That's not how others saw it. Just a lovely old lady, you know? And she just leaned into me, and she said: 'People like you should be killed at birth.
How would you actually put that into practice? I can't quite get the system here. And particularly sorry to have offended other victims of child abuse. That was the last thing I'd have ever wanted to do. And I'm really sorry that because of my thoughtless, wilful, arrogant behaviour, I created enormous difficulties for my wife and my children, who I would do anything to not hurt.
He never feared his family might not believe him. As a family we don't have secrets; we only have two rules in our house, tell the truth and be kind. In court he was also charged with sexual assault on a minor. When news of his arrest broke, a young woman had come forward claiming they'd had a sexual relationship when she was Langham admitted to the affair, but said she was 18 at the time, and her evidence was dismissed as unreliable, with court reports describing his accuser as "troubled".
He says his wife had already known about the affair — but if the woman was so troubled, why did he get involved with her? I don't know. Cos she was attractive. I've made lots of mistakes in my life and that's one of them and I'm very sorry that I did that. But — but — well you know, you don't need more than a few friends.
And I've got a few friends. So I'm blessed. Acts of kindness move Langham to tears, and before long another memory has him sobbing. A tradesman arrives and hovers awkwardly in the hallway looking alarmed, but Langham isn't the least bit embarrassed. Afterwards we go outside to do the pictures, and I try once more to unravel the paradox of his dual selves — one version frightened and hurt but still hopeful, the other glassily zen and indifferent to his fate.
Can both be authentic? This is an example of it right now," and he points to the flowerpot the photographer has asked him to hold. Why are you holding a stupid flowerpot? But I now have another voice which goes, you have no control over this, but it's going to be fine.
He is currently writing a comedy with Sharpe for a production company who say they love it. They just don't know if a channel will be ready to broadcast Langham's work.
Expectations are just planned resentments in my experience, so I don't do expectations any more. For the eight years since the trial, he has been living on the earnings of his wife, Chrissie, who stood by her husband when he was convicted. Speaking to the Kent Messenger at her 14th century home near Cranbrook, the choreographer told of her hurt and anguish at the national press coverage.
Mrs Langham said: "My husband's crime was of stupidity, arrogance and ghoulish curiosity, believing that he might be beyond the law and not considering the implications. My husband is not a paedophile. She described her husband as "the most passionate person I know about the well-being of children, physically, mentally or emotionally.
