Some Say John the Baptist A comedy by MARTYN WADE
'We belong to the Church of Christ and His Imminent
Return. We've been going every Sunday for 40 years.... Anyhow, at the age of 45 there I was with child. A child named John. A child who would grow up to be called the prophet of the highest. The Lord's forerunner: John the Baptist.'
As John has some trouble in projecting this image, his mother takes him to a 'Personality Redevelopment Agency'...
Directed by SHAUN MACLOUGHLIN BBC Bristol (R) Stereo
