Play of the Month presents: The Common

on BBC One London

by Peter Nichols
[Starring] Vivien Merchant as Jane Noble, Peter Jeffrey as Edward Noble
with Dennis Waterman as Sean Lamb, Gwen Taylor as Marcia Lamb

Edward and his wife - true Blue but with liberal yearnings - have a large house up on the common. Sean, whose ruling passion is radical politics, lives with Marcia and their baby in a flat in the less salubrious part. The story of their unexpected relationships is a social - and sometimes serious - comedy.
