Bye Bye Columbus

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A new drama about Christopher Columbus, featuring a starstudded cast, from the team - writer-director Peter Barnes, producer Ann Scott and actor Daniel Massey - that made Channel 4's Nobody Here But Us Chickens, winner of the Royal Television Society's 1990 Best Drama Award. Barnes takes a surreal, offbeat view which promises a very different perspective of the explorer from that offered by Hollywood.
A Greenpoint production for BBCtv
(Stereo) (Teletext subtitles: page 888)
