Season 1 • Episode 30 — Don't Go Down to the Bingo Mother, Father's Coming to Tea

An anthology of short plays shown on BBC Television between 1965 and 1973, used in part at least as a training ground for new writers, on account of its short length, and which therefore attracted many writers who later became well known.
