Million to One Chance by Kenneth Bird with Patsy Rowlands and Tom Bowman
George Allegro is a small-town tycoon. His big blustering finger is in every pie-he even owns the local newspaper, from the worst motives. But Allegro doesn'understand human beings. This is proved when he tries to exploit a ' happy event ' which threatens to make headlines.
Cast in order of speaking: Produced by HUGH STEWART in the BBC's Midland studios
