First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 20th 2021


Episode thirty seven of VISION ON SOUND finds that "Man Of The Theatre" SANDY McGREGOR returning (Huzzah!!!) to discuss all things about theatre on television.


This means that we take a long look at the version of THE BBC TELEVISION SHAKESPEARE which debuted in 1979, as well as taking our seats for THEATRE NIGHT, and a couple of AYCKBOURN and PINTER productions as seen on TV. There's also a certain amount of discourse on the experience of watching theatrical productions on television, the obligatory mention of QUATERMASS comes from a brief discussion of live television generally, and we mull over the career of the greatest actor of his generation, and whether he was or not.
