with Francis Matthews as Dr. Andrew Seth and Janet Chappell as Lucy Mallow
A survey recently carried out for a town in the Home Counties discovered that one in ten of its population was a mental patient, who although not in need of admittance to hospital nevertheless required treatment of some kind. This startling fact is highlighted by tonight's play about Lucy Mallow, a young girl who is mentally disturbed. She is a borderline case; ill enough for regular treatment but not for hospitalisation. Today she is to meet Dr. Seth, an overworked psychiatrist, who is to see how Lucy is getting on. Viewers are also invited to attend this interview which is to have far-reaching effects on the girl's future.
