Just a boys game

[57vintage]

“Peter McDougall Remembers - The Elephants’ Graveyard (BBC4, 10pm, Wed 23 October)
The Playwright recalls working on his 1976 Play for Today episode, which starred Billy Connolly and Jon Morrison as a pair of unemployed men who meet while wandering Glasgow after telling their wives they’re going to work.

That’s followed by another chance to see the play in full (10.10pm), and another of McDougall’s plays Just a Boys’ Game (11pm), in which Frankie Miller depicts a young man who grew up idolising his grandfather and sees a different side to the old man as he nears the end of his life.”

It’s on BBC4, so make sure you’ve paid your licence fee.

Watched The Elephants' Graveyard tonight. Had never seen that before and thought it was excellent, especially the ending.

Saw the playwright speaking about how he was supposedly a postie and wandered around Glasgow for two weeks before confessing to his Wife. Who knew all the time. 😂

Licence fee paid, as always.
