The Testament of John

on BBC Two England

by DON TAYLOR
starring
John Douglas , a retired bookseller, seems on the face of it an upright, impressive human being. But when a stranger arrives claiming to be his son, questions are asked which threaten to expose him as a traitor to his former comrades-in-arms as well as his family. Could he also have been an accomplice to political murder? In this political thriller, written in modern dramatic verse, Don Taylor probes into the ideals and betrayals of Communism.
