Crikey, I think I saw this the first time around. A lovely, charming piece, super acting particularly Michael Bryant; one of our finest. I've just watched this again, the performances are even better.
Quite wonderful stuff. For British viewers, Julia Foster is Ben Fogles mother. This Play won an International Emmy Award for best Fiction Programme in 1974 and Michael Bryant was nominated for a BAFTA.
From an era (50 years ago) when drama was clean, and easy to understand properly. Yorkshire Television had a great track record for that kind of drama set in the right kind of environment. Pretty girl...but she had very slippery hands though. Loved that cardie she worn in the office.
A lovely treat to have found such a sweet and charming Play. I enjoyed every minute of it. But am a little sad that I know I probably won't be lucky enough to find anything this good for quiet a while. They are few and far between.
Thanks for the upload. I saw this when it first came on TV, not sure what year but it seems a long time. Just a great story and Julia Foster was lovely.
OMG. I hadn't seen this since it first aired in the 1970's. Yet I could still rember the plot and outcome. There will never be Television drama like this anymore, it would upset the lefties. Marvelously scripted and very well acted. So much of our culture has been lost, becuase of elites who want to run the world as they see it.
Saw this when it first came to the US. Looked for it over the years. So pleased that it is back in circulation and can be enjoyed by others. Never have enough of romance in life.
Mr.Bryant was excellent as the ruthless guy in 'The Stone Tape' and Bosola in 'The Duchess of Malfi'. I didn't know he could be loveable. Thank you for this.
I wondered what the catch was going to be - drama doesn't do dreams coming true in this cynical age! (I've just watched 'Deception'!) I shall watch this again sometime to relish the pure, heart-warming romance of it.
His sudden switch to affability seemed unlikely, unless he was attracted to her for not being scared/ wary of him like the others? I'm not convinced by this story.
Over dinner he confessed he liked her frankness. Also this is the first time he is out of the office as t'were. Michael Bryant an extraordinarily good actor plays it beautifully.
Magical. From an era wheh Television was actually worth watching. ❤
Wonderful entertainment. Miss Foster one of my absolute favourites. What a girl ❤. Thanks for posting.
A nice piece of good old fashion romance, two lonely souls finding each other, no smutt, just plain old romance, gets my vote.
really enjoyed great play. This takes you back to when TV was good.
Classy, no sex, no swearing no shouting or violence.
Not this particular episode.... 🙃
Yes that's what I missed

Good god…didn’t know that.

Did'nt Julia do a version of Moll Flanders in the 70's? I seem to remember a very good production of it.
Ahh GB, the hime of sheer unbridled nepotism
Thanks for posting this. I remember seeing it on an old black and white TV decades ago. Oh for the days of brown paper carrier bags and good manners
This brings back memories , I remember watching this when it was first broadcast . Cant remember exactly when, sometime in the 70s. 😮

The sitting layout in the Indian restaurant would give me so much anxiety.
Why? I watched with great trepidation to see what was going to happen in the restaurant..it all looked quite normal to me?
Absolutely agree Madeleine! It was the first thing I thought too. Infact I would never have sat down. 😂
Me too but i do remember often having to share a table if a place was busy!
This was normal then, tables were shared. Nothing to be anxious about...busy bustling and no space. All pretty norm then.
Bought back memories for me thank you😅

What a miraculous thing you tube is. All these long buried forgotten brilliant films and plays resurrected to enjoy👍

I think it was 1974

All life is a risk. Indeed.
Michael Bryant is hilariously sweet!
Thanks for the treat.
"Am I fired?"
"No.(You're way too cute.)""
I have been looking for for decades, thank you thank you so much !!!!!
Truly wonderful - it's hard to find anything with a happy ending these days.

Agreed, a great play, but why would it upset the lefties?
@@Jackie-fw9nu most likely because he would be seen as a chauvinist or misogynist by leftards

On PBS?
@@parthasur6018 found it on daily motion.

She's like Frank Spencer.
With a stalker 😂
Just genuinely great!
Nice to see Julia Foster again.
~~This was an especially good one. Thanks for posting!
Loved this one. Thanks for all the many great uploads!
I really enjoyed that. Dialogue is very entertaining. The acting is good quality. Thanks for uploading.
Just loved it!
Wonderful
Takes me back to the old format of drama. So much more when it leaves it to the imagination a bit.
Thank you, I really enjoyed this one
i did a little bit of resaerch on angel and guess who is her son the very handsome BEN FOGEL i was quite surprised xxxx
That,s exactly how I wanted it to end !
Lovely story

Love this
Great
good one 😊
Cute!!!
Fairy tales can give hope to young people . That's what fairy tales for.
7 30! but she's got to get home for little Malcom and Humphrey will want his tea...
Back in the sexy mesozoic 😂
An entertaining play, but if I was Mr Axelford I'd have made some effort to persuade Pinkie to stay on.
In what parallel universe is this show taking place??

To hell with NetFlix!
