A play by Stella Martin Currey.
Adapted for television by Alwyne Whatsley and Tatiana Lieven.
Second performance: Thursday at 9.15 p.m.
(John Fraser appears by arrangement with Associated British Picture Corporation, Ltd.)

Love and Miss Figgis are rivals. One of them needs no introduction - except perhaps an amplifying note that it is young and fervent and the dominant emotion of an eighteen-year-old girl called Meg Day - but Miss Figgis needs to be identified more precisely. She is, then, the Senior Classics Mistress at a provincial girls' school, a vigorously efficient woman who, while accepting the human impulses which lead to love and marriage, is driven by her educationalist and feminist enthusiasms to deplore them in this case.
Meg has been an outstanding student who has worked hard and willingly under Miss Figgis's guidance and has a University scholarship and grant within her grasp when her affections are captured and reciprocated by a young and meagrely educated electrician.
Miss Figgis sees Meg as 'a potentially brilliant woman on the verge of being destroyed by her most primitive instinct' - but sympathies will be divided, for the problem is real and there is no easy solution.
