…there's a Missing Believed Wiped special and the first half of a season of Tony Garnett's work, that's partly a Ken Loach season and which also includes Roland Joffé's directorial debut, The Spongers, which I will arbitrarily declare this week's Wednesday Play (on Thursday). Set during the 1977 Jubilee celebrations, Jim Allen's script focuses on the plight of Pauline as she struggles to make ends meet. With a searing contemporary relevance, the film shows the human cost of decisions made by bureaucratic committees as council budgets are put under increasing pressure. Christine Hargreaves' performance is devastating as we see the full impact of these decision on her children. One of the most important plays of the 70s, it still speaks loudly to our conscience today. Don't forget to watch it at the BFI if you like it!
