A British television play, adapted from Stanley Young’s play by Nigel Kneale. This was the first of two live presentations of the same performance. Kneale later noted that this, and a production of Hugh Walpole’s The Cathedral that he also adapted, were “just routine things. They were alright, but they never amounted to anything much. They weren’t mine.” 1Into the Unknown: The Fantastic Life of Nigel Kneale by Andy Murray p.25
