[edit] Largest TV studio

Slightly obtuse change, but it was an error; the one time Studio 5 at the Fountain Studios in Wembley is larger. This small detail can be verified here also. (Scroll down to "The arrival of television" if you are in a hurry!)

[edit] Factual problem?

"On 21 July - while Curteis was on holiday in Ireland - the BBC cancelled the play, citing the forthcoming General Election."

The 1987 general election polling day was 11 June so something here must be incorrect. Sam Blacketer (talk) 11:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

It was 21 July 1986 - previous refernece to "early 1987" should have read "early 1986". Nick Cooper (talk) 21:59, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Goodchild

In the published script, Curteis stresses that Goodchild's background was in documentaries, and that the smaller number of drama documentaries he was involved with are not comparable to "proper" drama. This may be arrogant on Curteis's part, but he saw it as a major factor in what he saw as Goodchild's naive interference, i.e. that he did not understand the work of a dramatic writer. As to Goodchild's entry on IMDB, it is undoubtedly incomplete and inevitably anythign dith some dramatic element stands more chance of inclusion than straight documentaries.
