Actuality: Not a Night for the Squeamish

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A series of montage documentaries

"...it ain't easy: I do 2,000 miles a week, get hated by the punters, thumped by the wrestlers and when it's finished, I have to dismantle the ring..."
Frank Casey, ex-pipe fitter, ex-antique shop owner, now works for Brian Dixon Wrestling Enterprises as a referee. Actuality follows him through a harrassed evening as he presides over a theatre of cruelty including Manchester's Flying Sensation, Liverpool's Teenage Speed Machine, Klondyke Kate, Leather Lena,
Gaylord, Steve Peacock and others.
With Gemma Best, Ray Crawley, Mitzi Mueller and Monty Swan
