The Wednesday Play: Spoiled

on BBC One London

by Simon Gray
Starring Michael Craig as Howarth
with Elizabeth Shepherd as Joanna, Simon Ward as Donald

Nineteen-year-old Donald Clenham lives at home with his mother, works in a departmental store, and in his spare time studies O-level maths. His tutor, Richard Howarth, a local schoolmaster, invites him to stay for a final undisturbed study session before his exams. But Donald's stay is anything but quiet...

"I can't remember a television play that dealt so truly and touchingly with the complexities of man's sexual conflicts." (Daily Mirror)
"A beautifully observed story." (Julian Critchley, The Times)
"Full of insight and observation." (Daily Telegraph)
