by JAMES DOUGLAS with Barry Foster as Bruce Miller
Will television be allowed to go the way of the tabloid press?
This play, set in Fleet Street in the very near future, fantasises on the implications of allowing newspaper columnists like Percy Greer to turn TV chat shows into gladiatorial contests - of allowing unscrupulous men of power to create a new form of blood sport, where the victims are torn to pieces for the delight of the masses.
Percy Greer : 'I will turn your studio into a velvet abattoir.'
Other parts played by LINDA GARDNER and ANN RYE
Television show theme music composed by ROGER LIMB of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop Directed by SUSAN HOGG BBC Manchester. Stereo
(Re-broadcast next Saturday)
