William Mervyn
If you think the macabre events in tonight's play could not possibly happen in real life, you would be wrong. It was a Continental newspaper report of a case that suggested the idea to David Hopkins.
His play takes us behind the seemingly respectable facade of a suburban house. In a locked room with the windows barred and shuttered, is Roy Bates who, for the last twenty-one years, has been entombed by his parents - a living testament to their terrible sin. The sin of being born on the day they were to be married.
Roy is now twenty-one. And society calls him a man. But when he begins to ask questions about himself and life outside the room, he suddenly ceases to be a son and instead becomes a threat - a threat culminating in a tense, terrifying climax.
For William Mervyn, the part of the father is a considerable change from the lovable Bishop in the All Gas and Gaiters series, which has endeared him to millions of viewers.

A selection of musical milestones from the golden days of the silver screen
Tonight: the 1947 production "Till The Clouds Roll By"
Starring June Allyson, Lucille Bremer, Judy Garland, Kathryn Grayson, Van Heflin, Lena Horne, Van Johnson, Angela Lansbury, Tony Martin, Virginia O'Brien, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra
and Robert Walker as Jerome Kern

This is the story of the fantastically successful composer, Jerome Kern, from his ordinary beginnings to the time of his greatest musical hit, "Showboat". The film moves from New York to London and back to Broadway, and Judy Garland playing the well-known star of the thirties, Marilyn Miller, puts across a number of songs with her usual verve and charm.

Songs in the film include "Look for the silver lining," "Smoke gets in your eyes" and "Ol' Man River".
