A play for television by Iain MacCormick.
The action takes place in a country house in Scotland. It is December 1954.
This play deals with less turbulent events than those its author investigated in The Promised Years. In a gentler way, however, Mr. MacCormick is again concerned to explore some troubled human hearts.
He shows us here a confused quartet comprising the two daughters of a wealthy Scottish industrialist and the two young men they have taken into their home: the hard-drinking Grahams, sometime pilots of the Canadian Air Force. Jimmy has married Paula and has been allotted a lucrative position in the family business-which is not quite compensation enough for his position as junior partner in the marriage. Johnny, inhibited by the loss of an arm, has enslaved the affections of Fiona, but the heart on her sleeve is no match for the chip on his shoulder. There are frustrations and resentments and it takes the old man who comes out of the mist to clear the air. Kenneth A. Hurren

A series of programmes about the British Theatre.
Discussed by G. E. Geddes, Grace Wyndham-Goldie, Sir Barry Jackson, Michael MacOwan and Margaret Leighton.
The first three programmes took us from the wagon stage of the miracle drama to the theatres of Shakespeare, the Restoration, and the eighteenth century.
Tonight the scene changes to the contemporary theatre when a discussion on the repertory movement introduces the television production of 'You Never Can Tell' to be televised from the stage of the Birmingham Repertory Theatre on Tuesday evening.
