Intensive Care (1982)
"When Denis Midgley's father is rushed to hospital, Midgley drops everything to be by his side. They've never really got on, so Midgley wants to be sure he's there if his father ever regains consciousness. As he hates his job as a schoolteacher, and his home-life with his wife, her senile mother and their insolent teenage son, he has no qualms about lingering around the hospital. But as days turn into weeks, his father obstinately refuses to 'slip away', and Denis' motivation for staying by his father's bedside has more and more to do with Valery, a young nurse. Written by Alan Bennett and starring Alan Bennett, Thora Hird & Julie Walters."
The Birthday Party (1987)
"The Birthday Party was the first full-length play by Harold Pinter, and is arguably one of his best known plays. Stanley Webber is the only lodger in Meg and Petey Boles' seaside boarding house. One morning, while Meg and Stanley are bantering over breakfast, she mentions that two visitors are coming to stay for the night. Stanley immediately grows apprehensive, sensing imminent danger. His fears are confirmed when Goldberg and his partner McCann arrive. Meg announces that it's Stanley's birthday, and even though Stanley insists it is not, Goldberg demands a celebration. After a few glasses of whiskey and a game of blindman's bluff, Stanley's birthday party turns into a nightmare. Goldberg and McCann drag Stanley off to an upstairs room, and by morning they've rendered him a mute. Cast: includes Kenneth Cranham, Harold Pinter, Colin Blakely, Joan Plowright, Robert Lang and Julie Walters."

Say Something Happened (1982)
"Say Something Happened was the final broadcast in the BBC's 1982 series of plays by Alan Bennett. A 45-minute three-hander, it marked the first time that Thora Hird had been given a leading role in a Bennett play. Say Something Happened dramatises a direct confrontation between old age and youth. The latter is represented by naïve and inexperienced social worker June (Julie Walters), frantically consulting her notes whenever she's worried that she might have drifted off track in her attempt to process the responses given by the retired couple Elizabeth and Arthur Rhodes (Thora Hird and Hugh Lloyd) when she subjects them to her local authority questionnaire."
