Out of the Unknown: Second Childhood

BBC One
on BBC One London

by Hugh Leonard.
With Nigel Stock
and Roland Curram, Caroline Blakiston
(First shown on BBC-2)

"Most science fiction plays... are inevitably prophetic and whether they are old or new they paint an unpleasant future largely ordered by machines. 'Second Childhood' by Hugh Leonard was a refreshing change. It takes place only about ten years ahead and with a rather grim humour it showed the devastating effect of a course of rejuvenation" (The Guardian)
