The Brothers: Perchance To Dream (BBC-1 31 Mar 1974)
In Perchance To Dream Ann’s flight to Brussels is cancelled and despite managing to get in touch with her lover’s hotel she discovers that he is out but that is “secretary” is in his room. Meanwhile Edward and Jennifer are contemplating going on holiday together and Barbara reveals that she is emigrating to Canada with Johnny.
A powerful performance from Hilary Tindall as Ann’s semi-breakdown reaches crisis point and leads her to take an over dose of sleeping pills, Barbara is forever dropping bombshells on her mother and this time is no exception albeit Canada seems a little excessive. Johnny has been somewhat conspicuous by his absence too, it’s almost like the producers couldn’t come up with a strong enough plot line for Barbara so shipping her off to Canada was a good way out. Also Ann pays a stressful visit to her daughter Carol at boarding school only to find that she is played by a completely different actress and also seems to be younger now!
