Five screenplays by ALAN BLEASDALE 3: Shop thy Neighbour featuring
Michael Angelis as Chrissie Todd with Julie Walters as Angie and Jean Boht as Miss Sutcliffe
Snowy's death and the inquiry into the Malloy affair mean a rough day for both sides of the counter. For Chrissie and his wife Angie, with their dole stopped, it means a showdown - this, after all, was going to be ' her' time.
