A BBC Radio 4 full-cast production of one of Alan Bennett’s early plays, set in the 1970s, follows Labour MP George Oliver as he navigates feelings of stagnation, self-absorption, and societal change. With Bennett’s characteristic wry humor, the story explores themes of disillusionment and personal reflection amid life's unfolding difficulties. Featuring a compelling cast led by Keith Barron, this poignant and comedic drama was awarded the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy in 1971.
