Play for Today: The Cause

on BBC One London

by Derek Lister
with Jimmy Jewel as George Harley

'I wish I could write... about what Spain was like - a real cause. Not just Cornford, Hemingway and Orwell, but the ordinary blokes who went.'

A confused industrial dispute at a London hospital triggers off in trade unionist George Harley's mind memories of his days fighting in the Spanish Civil War, when the issues seemed so much clearer.
