Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of BBC's 'Wednesday Play' anthology series, this exemplifies 1960s British television's appetite for speculative fiction on domestic budgets.

Arnold Ridley, playing the befuddled Munnings, is far better known as Private Godfrey in 'Dad's Army'—watch for the same gentle bewilderment.
