	Wednesday Play, The
		The Wednesday Play is now nostalgically looked back upon as the legendary lost past of British television drama-- a halcyon time in the 1960s when practitioners had the luxurious freedom of exploring the creative possibilities of the medium through the one-off television play, egged on by broadcasters and audiences alike.
		The Wednesday Play, arose, in fact, not as a benign gift of liberal broadcasters but as a desperate attempt by the head of BBC TV Drama, Sydney Newman, to save the single play from being axed from the BBC's premier channel (BBC-1), due to poor ratings.
		He wanted a play slot that would be relevant to the lives of a mainstream popular audience; that would reflect the "turning points" of society: the relationship between a son and a father; a parishioner and his priest; a trade union official and his boss.

	THE WEDNESDAY PLAY \| A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
		Now regarded as a shining light of British television's golden age, 'The Wednesday Play' is often held up as the perfect example of the impact that television had on a generation of viewers, and just how much that impact has diminished in more recent years.
		Newman's brief was for a series of plays that would be relevant to the lives of a mainstream popular audience, using the talents of fresh new writers to television.
		The plays courted controversy from the outset and became the target for 'Clean-Up TV' campaigner Mary Whitehouse, a move that simply boosted publicity and ratings as audience figures rose from one to eight million.

	The Wednesday Play
		During the first season, the plays were much more "expressionist" in style, and concerned with exploiting the resources of the television studio, as the earlier Teletale had done.
		In later seasons, though, many of the plays became noticeably more "documentary"; reflecting a determination to transcend the confines of the TV studio in order to record more faithfully the rapidly changing character of life in 1960s Britain.
