A monthly series in which Outside Broadcast and film cameras tell how one incident can change one person's life.

Twenty-five years ago a phone call changed the life of a young actor called Hearne. It introduced him to a scatter-brained old character of seventy. Tonight Richard Hearne tells Hywel Davies how this old man completely upset his life, stole his identity, and several times nearly killed him, but in doing so brought him not only money but many things which money cannot buy.
(BBC recording from backstage in the Hippodrome, Brighton, where Richard Hearne is appearing in "Mother Goose")
