- Play for Today 26 April 1977 BBC TV. Starring Peter Barkworth, Sheila Gish and Judi Bowker. Written by Brian Clark.
This is a sequel to 1975's The Saturday Party. Richard Elkinson, the former Stockbroker, is now running a country restaurant. His daughter decides to spring a surprise on him, in an attempt to change his life for the better. This has unintended consequencies.
I was 16 when this was broadcast. People are so insulting about the 1970's -I suppose because of the industrial upheaval - endless strikes etc. But, the culture was so much finer than today. (Apart from the architectural vandalism which was horrific). Popular music and television were superb - unmatched by anything today. Just for an hour or so I can go back and immerse myself in genuine excellence, something we took so much for granted then. Thank you.
Brilliant play... also see Saturday Party with the same cast, both are excellent!
Ahhh. The slower paced and quiet pause of 1970s TV storytelling and broadcasting. It sure beats the ear assaulting rushed abrasive ness and degenerate dark story content of today.
Stuart Fanning: Thank you so much for this, Peter Barkworth was a family friend, so I remember both him, and also Joshua Le Touzel (David) who was at my Stage School, with much affection, great being able to see this again, after all those years, and brings back such fond memories of two fine fellow Actors, I had the pleasure of knowing.
Those were the days when the duration of a television play is not shoe horned into the straight jacket of a schedule slot. Once again this brilliant cast carry it off.
Ha! Linda Robson and Pauline Quirk in the Kitchen! I’ll keep an eye out for Dorian
How could I have forgotten Peter Barkworth? He was on the telly all the time when I was young. Fabulous actor with a beautiful plummy voice. It’s a shame the quality of this recording is poor, but it’s still very enjoyable for all that.
a delight to watch, times when everything was so much more tasteful than today.
Very well put together performance, wonderful to see so many long forgotten faces and the superb Peter Barkworth. Thank you so much.
Peter Barkworth could accomplish more standing still for several seconds than most other actors could do in two hours. Amazingly subtle and beautiful.
Great to watch Peter Barkworth after all these years. Thank you!
Great thank you, anything Peter Barkworth is in is worth watching superb actor. ❤️
