Play On One, The (BBC-1 1988-1991, Diana Rigg, Anthony Hopkins)

Published

on


Across the course of four series The Play On One offered a diverse range of one off productions, quite a few of them originated from BBC Scotland.

Writers ranged from the likes of the legendary Peter McDougall to John Byrne and took in a fine production written by actor Antony Sher as well as one by Trevor Griffiths.

The dramas were pretty much all shot on film to a high standard and accordingly the casts were nicely high profiles too including the likes of Harvey Keitel, Susan Wooldridge, Diana Rigg, David Calder, James Fox, Anthony Hopkins and Harry Andrews (to name just a few!).

production details
UK / BBC-1 / 30 episodes of various duration / AIRDATES: 19 January 1988 – 29 August 1991
