Spend, Spend, Spend

BBC One
on BBC One London

A season of BBC prize-winning artists and shows.
A play by Jack Rosenthal based on the book "Spend, Spend, Spend" by Vivian Nicholson and Stephen Smith
with Susan Littler as Vivian Nicholson and John Duttine as Keith Nicholson.
'I'm going to spend, spend, spend,' said Vivian Nicholson in 1961 when, together with her £7-a-week miner husband Keith, she won £152,319 on the pools. Now Vivian has spent it all and this play, based on her autobiography, shows what the money meant and where it went.
"Susan Littler is magnificent..." (DAILY MAIL)
"Jack Rosenthal's script, John Goldschmidt's direction and Phil Meheux's photography were faultless..." (DAILY MAIL)
