by Ian Roberts
Starring Alan Badel as Rory Farquhar
with Helen Lindsay as Celia Farquhar, Moray Watson as Nigel Selwyn, Mary Webster as Val Selwyn, Rosemary Leach as Jean Marfield, Daphne Heard as Nan, Raymond Armstrong as Tom Sackville and Anthony Kemp as Torquil

Toggle - it's the nickname of eight-year-old Torquil - was adopted in the hope that he would stabilise the marriage of Nigel and Val. But the hope is unfulfilled: Val still runs off with other men. So Toggle becomes the problem of Nigel's sister Celia and brother-in-law Rory. And since their own children have grown up and gone out into the world, Rory is less than delighted to find the calm of his beautiful home disturbed.

"...had story, point and superb acting. If the BBC switchboard was jammed it should only have been with grateful calls" (Virginia Ironside, Daily Mail)

talks to John Warrack
"Tippett has a Quaker mind with Catholic music". (T. S. Eliot)
"I'm interested in programmes such as 'Top of the Pops' to see the sophistication that has gone into it" (Sir Michael Tippett)

Tippett, who has just completed his third opera "Knot Garden", is one of the leading English composers and his own librettist.
He talks about his musical influences and deep interest in the "musical vernacular" and also his literary influences, notably Shakespeare and Eliot.
While he does not regard himself as a conventionally religious man, he feels his creative vitality comes from an extreme sense of an inner life. He has, too, a strong practical streak, which reveals itself in his enthusiasm for the Leicestershire Schools Orchestra which he regularly conducts, and a keen interest in all that is happening around him.
Tippett is about to start a third symphony in which he plans to re-explore the Blues, culminating in a set of improvisations which he calls "wild jazz".
