The Sextet: Follow the Yellow Brick Road

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

by Dennis Potter
Another chance to see six of the plays from this award-winning series
[Starring] Michele Dotrice, Ruth Dunning, Denholm Elliott, Richard Vernon, Dennis Waterman, Billie Whitelaw

Jack is falling apart, going mad. Torn by universal disgust, he sees only the black side of things. And yet he works as an actor in the whiter-than-white world of TV advertising. What can put Jack together again?

"Superbly directed by Alan Bridges this play set a new high point to television drama." (Birmingham Post)
"Hard-edged dialogue, fine characterisation and superb playing all round." (The Times)
