In the course of a decluttering session the other day, I came across a cassette tape I must have recorded as a teenager in the mid-70s with a one-off comedy drama called: "Hello. Are You There?"
Written by and starring Peter Jones, it's the story of a man trying to use a public phone to arrange an alibi with a friend over some marital indescretion. The comedy comes from a series of conversations on crossed lines as the Jones character gets increasingly desperate. It also stars Harry Taub, Miriam Margoyles and Victor Spinetti. The director was David Hatch.
I've tried to research this and come up with nothing and it makes me wonder if this is one of these famous "lost recordings".
On the B-side is another one-off comedy sketch show -- "Out Of My Head" -- by a guy from West Bromwich called Chris Allen. Others featured include Denise Coffey, Alison Steadman and Royce Mills. I've drawn a blank with that too.
I'd be interested if anyone has any more information on either recording or indeed any suggestions on what I should do with the tape itself.
