Play for Today: Ackerman, Dougall and Harker

on BBC One London

by Don Shaw
with Martin C. Thurley as Peter Murchison, James Grout as Sinclair

Selling is easy when you have faith in the product; but though Peter Murchison finds his way across the Yorkshire moors on an initiative test, the people he meets help him lose his sense of direction.

"The whole play was indeed full of fine cameo performances - James Grout as the schoolmaster who couldn't stop humiliating his boys, and Joe Gladwin, the shepherd..." (James Thomas, Daily Express)
