A Newspaper Play for Broadcasting by Robert Barr
Cast and Ted, Sports Writer and Produced by Laurence Gilliam
This programme presents a picture of a marine disaster as seen through the eyes of a news editor seated at his desk. The programme is ingenious in construction, and covers every aspect of what is going on from the moment that the wreck is reported to the moment that the edition of the newspaper covering the story goes to press.
