Nicol Williamson
The Ginger Man... Inadmissible Evidence... Waiting for Godot landmarks in the stage career of the young Scottish actor Nicol Williamson. He has just finished his fourth feature film and next week plays Hamlet in a "Free Theatre" production at the Round House, Chalk Farm, London.
Tonight he talks to Ronald Eyre with illustrations from his films and an excerpt from Hamlet.

The Unfortunates
Published last Thursday, "The Unfortunates" is described as "the most originally presented novel ever to appear on the British literary scene". B.S. Johnson, the author, directed tonight's Release film in which he attempts to recreate how the novel came to be written and why it was necessary to present it in an unorthodox way.
