"One of my earliest recollections was standing in the street outside my home and a woman asking me if I was the son of the Rev. William John Calvin. I said I was. The woman put her hand in her shopping bag and brought out an egg. She smashed it in my face.
I always had as a boy this sense of not belonging, of being in a minority group on every matter and issue.
But it left me with this almost neurotic sense of having to surround with care people who are under oppression, under attack, or unable to stick up for themselves."

An Egg in Your Face traces the life of The Rev. Noel Calvin the Congregational Minister of Trowbridge, Wiltshire and urges through his eyes the expanding need for tolerance and understanding in religion, politics, and all human attitudes.

by N.J. Crisp
Starring Thora Hird, Robert Keegan, James Grout and Henry Knowles

Most men with small businesses know that when the time comes to retire they can sell up with a tidy profit. But what happens when you can't retire? This is the situation of John Lambert, at seventy-three Furness's oldest taxi proprietor. He can't pass on his taxi licence - these come under the Furness Watch Committee and there is a long waiting list for them. Is this unfair? Sarah investigates what seems a straightforward grievance and uncovers a dubious racket in the process.
