This is the crucial round of the competition. From tonight's match will emerge one of the finalists: a team that has already proved its worth over the early heats, quarter-finals, and now the semi-final round. For victory tonight, they really have to be top of their form.

[Starring] John Gielgud, Alec Guinness

A writer (Gielgud) in the quiet of his study comes face to face with the Public Executioner (Guinness).

"It was half-an-hour of worthwhile television - acting, directing, design - and Guinness and Gielgud, both men of the theatre, used all the concentrated techniques needed for the small screen with apparent ease." (Stage)
"Acting to Sir Alec is the power to become somebody else. Acting to Gielgud, however, is the art of finding another personality within his own; disguise is irrelevant." (The Times)
"John Gielgud was the noble intellectual at bay. He suggested admirably a man ready to die for his principles and yet slightly disappointed at dying without an audience." (Daily Telegraph)
