A Fine Country by ELIZABETH TROOP adapted by the author from her novel of the same title, with Anna Massey as Sylvia Cass and Peter Jeffrey as George Cass
' Interesting, this identification with a woman called Rosa Luxemburg - I never heard of her.'
' You won't remain in ignorance of her long, with Mrs Cass around. German, I think - First World War - revolutionary. Knew Lenin. Got hit over the head and thrown in a canal in some riot. What all that has to do with our Mrs Cass , the Lord only knows.'
Sylvia Cass , more than just an ironic study in middle-class neurosis, ' flies over the cuckoo's nest ' at her hospital.
Directed by RICHARD WORTLEY
(First broadcast in 1978) long wave onlu
