The First Lady: A Banner with a Strange Device

on BBC One London

by Bill Barron
Starring Thora Hird, Robert Keegan, James Grout and Henry Knowles

Once a year, Furness erupts into 'Frag,' the annual rag week of Furness Technical College. The students run wild and their high spirits are treated with a tolerant understanding by both police and council. However, this year a new element is introduced into the proceedings when George Kingston is unexpectedly kidnapped from the steps of the Town Hall. He is taken to an isolated hideout at the top of one of his own buildings and held prisoner. Worse still, Tom Danby helped in the kidnapping and George's sister Angela blames Sarah for the affair.
