Message For Posterity was a Drama that aired on BBC Two in 1995.
Drama Message For Posterity, written by Dennis Potter, was about a famous artist who paints the portrait of a retiring Prime Minister. The play was previously broadcast in 1967 but the tape was wiped which was unfortunate considering the play’s title. This was broadcast as part of the ‘Performance’ strand of single BBC plays that all had a studio setting and a more traditional play like feel..
