 Brimstone and Treacle
'''''Brimstone and Treacle''''' is a 1970s play by Dennis Potter about a middle-aged middle-class couple living in a North London suburb who are unfortunate enough to have their beautiful undergraduate daughter's life reduced to a severely handicapped existence by a hit-and-run driver.
Brimstone and Treacle was originally written by Potter as a television play, commissioned, paid for and recorded (1976) by the BBC, for their Play for Today slot.
It was not shown, because then Director of Television Programmes Alasdair Milne (later, between 1982 and 1987, Director General of the BBC, in which role he ironically became a hate figure of the Thatcher government for, among other reasons, not being censorious enough) found it "nauseating".

The rain of fire and brimstone was seen as a tool of divine punishment of sin, echoed in other verses such as Psalms 11:6, Ezekiel 38:22, and Luke 17:29.
Revelation 20:10 speaks of the devil being thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, "tormented day and night forever." Thus, the imagery moves from judgment to Last Judgment, when the forces of evil are destroyed, symbolized by the lake of fire and sulphur.

The passages are dimly lit with curving walls that block most sunlight and have quite dark-coloured rocks, all of which make the canyon very ghostly and mysterious.
