About this listen

It’s 1999 and the Brown family are cooped up together in their family flat. Joe was made redundant at the start of the 80s, like most men in town. Now it’s his children Gary and Ann who are the breadwinners, working from home, much to Joe’s resentment. Joe decides that the family needs a holiday, and signs them up for a working break in the underwater Ministry of Defence Civilian Work Centre. Once there, all four of them face unexpected personal challenges.

Presenting a special mini series examining BBC1's "Play for Tomorrow" from 1982. Six looks into the future by up and coming playwrights, produced by the BBC legendary "Play for Today" team.

Written by Tom McGrath and starring Jimmy Hanley, Gerard Kelly and Russell Hunter.

Featuring guest commentator Mark Donaldson, from On the Timelash. Listen to it at https://onthetimelash.wordpress.com/
