Will television be allowed to go the way of the tabloid press?
This play, set in Fleet Street in the very near future, fantasises on the implications of allowing newspaper columnists like Percy Greer to turn TV chat shows into gladiatorial contests - of allowing unscrupulous men of power to create a new form of blood sport, where the victims are torn to pieces for the delight of the masses.
Percy Greer : 'I will turn your studio into a velvet abattoir.'

The Child in Time by IAN MCEWAN abridged in ten episodes by DAVID BUCK
Read by Norman Jones (1) Stephen Lewis is a rich and famous writer of children's books. One day he experiences the cruellest loss that any parent can withstand - his own 3-year-old daughter is abducted in a supermarket. Set in the not-too-distant future, where beggars are licensed and parents instructed that childhood is a disease to be treated with discipline, this is both a moving and cautionary parable by one of Britain's best contemporary writers.
