Episode
Description First broadcast in a double feature with 'Dusk' as part of the Wednesday Matinee. It is possible that this production was not broadcast. While the BBC archives confirm that Pinter received a payment form and attended the production of this work, confirmed in a letter to Peter Watts, an email compilation of Pinter's BBC work gathered by Ned Chaillet's assistant Stephanie Beynon on request from Pinter’s PA, Angela Cheyne, and sent to Mark Taylor-Batty during the creation of Pinter's website supports this possibility. Pinter annotated a printout of the email by hand and crossed out several productions, including this one, though it unclear what exactly he meant by this. One possibility is that Pinter was indicating that the broadcast did not take place. See also database entries for 'Focus on Libraries', 'One Man's City - Leeds', and 'Mr Punch Passes By'.
