BBC Two
on BBC Two England

by David Halliwell
Another chance to see six of the plays from this award-winning series
[Starring] Michele Dotrice, Ruth Dunning, Denholm Elliott, Richard Vernon, Dennis Waterman, Billie Whitelaw

Peter has quite a story to tell. After all, he heard part of it from Claire who herself got part of it from her father and the rest from Grannie. So it must be true.
