Play for Today - A Photograph (1977) Bluray by John Bowen and John Glenister FULL FILM
Lousadzak 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈Finally got round to ticking off The Flipside Of Dominick Hide/Another Flip For Dominick from my to-watch pile. So pleased I did.
Lovely early 80s time-travel SF from BBC Play For Today. Some great world building with the kitsch styles, and the oddball word use and vocabulary (reminded me of The Year Of The Sex Olympics).
Plenty of whimsical humour which actually hit the mark, too.
Need to resume "Out Of The Unknown".
Another CinnaThe original #PlayForToday version of Up The Junction is grittying its way across #BBCFOUR now, fresh as a daisy.
RichardGood evening from Thaxted. I cooked a proper dinner tonight including #vegan Yorkshire puds (from a packet) and honestly tea was a triumph! Sometimes you need a plate of veg and #gravy.
I watched another #PlayForToday this time "A Photograph" which was captivating in both performance and plot. Lovely to see Stephanie Turner pre #JulietBravo and John Stride of #TheMainChance - playing a similar character but much less sure of himself than David Main was. A solid 8/10 for this one. Pax!
Good evening from Thaxted. Today was my bonus #ChristmasEve holiday day, given by work, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it! Watched lots more #PlayForToday on #YouTube and have found it pleasing to be tucked away inside with the wind and the rain howling around the house. Lots of cuddles with Clio the cat, and started in on the plates of picky bits for tea - the kind of plate made up of oddments of salad items, cheese, crackers and chutneys. All very tasty. A lovely day all round. Pax!
Watched a very good #PlayForToday from 1984 that is just as relevant today. The scenario isn't obvious at first, but soon becomes apparent that there exists a specialist who given a phone call will help you put an end to family "problems". The cast put in an excellent performance with well-written dialogue around a central premise. #LeonardRossiter leads this #farce in what would be his own final year of life. Excellent viewing and certainly thought provoking. #BBC #television #drama
