As you may recall, the BFI is running a season of Peter Terson plays next month. The playwright and television screenwriter wrote some of the most deeply human and talked about dramas of the 1960s and 70s, including The Fishing Party and its sequels. The May BFI write-up has more details, and here’s a playlist of some of his plays:
Well now, you lucky people, the BFI and I are offering you the chance to win two tickets to the screening of your choice. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post before 5th May (that’s Friday). I’ll let you all know who’s won afterwards.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
