Did Private Potter really have a vision in which he saw God, or was it merely an alibi for his cowardice in the face of action? Confronted with an unprecedented case, his Commanding Officer, although reluctant to take court-martial proceedings, is in an unenviable position.
Following his appearance in Billy Liar earlier in this season, Tom Courtenay gives another fine, and contrasted, performance.
