The artist today faces new problems which challenge his work and his living. This is the theme of this BBC Television Film, which has been made in association with the Arts Council of Great Britain. In it, Basil Taylor looks at these problems and at the work of some of the British painters and sculptors affected by them.

A comedy by Aimee Stuart.
The action of the play takes place in London in the winter of 1953.
When Robert Bruce comes home from the office he likes to spend the evening dozing in front of the fire. So it is not surprising that his wife Janet, who has spent the day looking after the baby and doing household chores, is bored. Nor is it surprising that she envies her friends the Airdleys who enjoy a gay social life. But even the Airdleys are not happy - Carol would give anything to have a baby like Janet's. Sparks are likely to fly when the two wives resolve to make their husbands take more notice of their wishes... (Mary Maxted)
(John Fraser appears by arrangement with the Associated British Picture Corporation, Ltd.)
