Play for Today: Shakespeare - or Bust

on BBC One London

by Peter Terson
with Brian Glover as Art, Ray Mort as Ern, Douglas Livingstone as Abe

'We have a booking - On a boat - For a fortnight. Us is heading for Stratford - On Avon - For Shakespeare.'

"For every play of mine that appears, you can bet that there's been another four or five chucked away. When one's done I take a few days off and then start fishing around for something else. I can't feel right when I'm not working." (Peter Terson)

with Janet Suzman and Richard Johnson, members of the Royal Shakespeare Company
(From Birmingham)
"Art, Ern and Abe - endearing creations, splendidly portrayed." (Barry Norman, The Times)
