Stone walls do not a prison make
Article Abstract:
Edward Bond has produced two television plays recently, a field that has been dramatically underdeveloped in recent years. Bond says that political drama is his particular interest as a vehicle for asking questions. It produces no answers as that is not the job of the playwright. The two plays are Olly's Prison and Tuesday for English File. Bond has been called a tragic and violent writer but he considers himself much more a funny writer. Olly's Prison is to be part of the British Broadcasting Corporation's (BBC's) series on crime and punishment.

Cold comforts
Article Abstract:
Some observers feel that Channel 4 took a great risk in agreeing to fund and show Dennis Potter's serial 'Cold Lazarus,' which is to be screened shortly. It is certainly a clear departure from Potter's earlier work, dealing with cryogenics and the nature of memory, and Channel 4 acknowledges it as innovative. However, the channel believed that it was worth investing heavily in the serial, as it was important to achieve appropriate special effects.
