with Susan Fleetwood as Pamela Redman

"Not least among the strengths of Rachel Billington's play about wife-battering. Donât Be Silly was its unexpected location among the affluent and educated middle classes..." (Daily Mail)
"Rachel Billington's first TV play Don't Be Silly, was a beautifully clear and convincing account of wife-battering among the well-bred." (The Guardian)
