A likely comedy by Dennis Driscoll.
From the BBC's North of England studios
See foot of page

There is a persistent social distinction even today between the man in the white collar and the small bowler hat, with the polished shoes and the puttee-tight umbrella, and the shirt-sleeved mechanic with grease under his fingernails. It has nothing to do with earning capacity or brains or usefulness, but it is there, this prestige of the 'clean job', and it is part of the ambition of many parents among what used to be called the working class to see their sons elevated into, say, insurance offices or banks. Maggie Lomax in Dennis Driscoll's play is the anxious spokeswoman for these aspirations. She has seen her boy David win a scholarship to the university and graduate with a degree fitting him, she is confident, for a clean and respectable career-possibly at the Town Hall, which is evidently her ideal of cleanliness and respectability.
But David is of a new generation that has not inherited the old snobberies, and he comes home with the dismaying determination to take a technical post in a coalmine.
