Afternoon Play – Final Demands Ep 1/6
Thursday 4 March
2.15-3.00pm BBC RADIO 4
Acclaimed actor Tom ContiOscar-winning writer Frederic Raphael's TV drama series, The Glittering Prizes, was one of the great successes of the late Seventies. Starring Tom Conti and set in the early Fifties, it followed the fortunes of a group of undergraduates, watching how their hopes and ambitions were fulfilled, or not, in the next 25 years.
After the success of the BBC Radio 4 adaptation and its sequel, Fame And Fortune, Final Demands continues the story, chronicling English social life and public and private values in the last decade of the brutal 20th century.
Final Demands once again reunites many of the original cast, including Tom Conti, Barbara Kellermann, Nigel Havers, Mark Wing Davey, Angela Down, Malcolm Stoddard and Emily Richard. It also introduces Julian Rhind Tutt, Colin McFarlane, Julian Glover and Alistair McGowan to this stellar cast.
It is now the Nineties and, for all of those friends from the Fifties, life has moved on. Once again, Raphael brings all his wit, invention and insight to his diverse, vivid and utterly convincing group of characters.
Tom Conti stars as Adam Morris; Barbara Kellermann as Barbara Morris; Mark Wing-Davey as Mike Clode; Alistair McGowan as Alan Parks; Malcolm Sinclair as Gavin Pope; Nigel Havers as Denis Porson; Rupert Degas as Tom Morris; Flora Montgomery as Rachel Morris; Angela Down as Joyce Hadleigh; Adrian Lukis as Derek Morris; and Julian Rhind-Tutt as Jonty. Pete Atkin directs.
Producer/Jo Wheeler
