For The Wednesday Play, BBC, tx. 3/11/1965 - 75 minutes, black & white

“We told our director, Kenneth Loach, that none of the sacred cows of television drama need stand in his way… This is a show which defies the categories. It is not a play, a documentary, or a musical. It is all of these at once. It is something new - but, more important, it is something true.” Tony Garnett

This ground-breaking drama saw Loach take the filming out of the studio and onto the very streets depicted in the story. With an immediacy only ever seen in current affairs programmes, the portrayal of ordinary people’s lives had an authenticity seldom witnessed in television drama.
