Out of the Unknown: Get Off My Cloud

on BBC Two England

by Peter Phillips
dramatised by David Climie
with Donal Donnelly, Peter Jeffrey, Peter Barkworth and Vicki Woolf

A brilliant writer of science fiction fantasies has had a mental breakdown. Although lying inert on a hospital bed, in his mind he is living in the midst of one of his own fantasies. In an attempt to bring him back to reality, a doctor uses a new device to link the writer's mind to that of the most level-headed man he knows, an Irish sports reporter. When the sports reporter finds himself in the weird world created by the deranged writer, he wonders if he was wise to take on the job.
