A comedy by Brian Ashbee
with Mary Wimbush as Dorothy and Rachel Kempson as Margery
Margery looks after her Sister Dorothy. Dorothy is in a wheelchair, blind and a little hard of hearing. Margery thinks she is indispensable, but Dorothy has a new friend, a book about poisons and an independent mind.
Switzerland is a neutral country. She has no nuclear weapons and only a few professional soldiers. Her safety depends on an army manned mostly by part-timers who take their guns home with them after training. Yet for centuries Switzerland has stayed out of wars. But how neutral Is neutral? Switzerland's officers train with NATO members and her businessmen trade with the West. The army relies on British tanks and American missiles. The people of Berne can be just as anti-Communist as anyone in London or New York. Is neutrality a thing of the past or a model to be envied by those who oppose NATO's nuclear stance? Roger Flnnlgan reports on Swiss attempts to protect, survive and avoid 'The First Battle'.
