Description

The Aeroflot Ilyushin airliner, which had begun its journey in Moscow, collided with power lines on its approach to Havana. Of 70 passengers and crew, two survived. The judge said there were no previous convictions adding that some of the offences were aggravated as they were committed whilst on bail "despite attempts to make you comply by police". A Warrington grandad-of-24 offered a 'teenage boy' a McDonald's in exchange for a hotel stay where he planned on sexually abusing him.

There's still something in him of the schoolteacher he once was. His world view was largely shaped by Albert Smith, head teacher at Birch Hall School, near Oldham, where Griffiths taught in the 1950s. "Smith was an anarchist," Griffiths says, "a brilliant guy. One of the first people to graduate from Oxford in sociology. He taught me how to be a real person." Griffiths, T.

Oxford University Press, pp. on-line A 95-minute version of the full play was adapted for the Play for Today strand, broadcast on 25 October 1979, produced and directed by Eyre. Through the Night was inspired by his first wife, Janice. "Around 1961, Jan wanted to start a family. We couldn't. It emerged that she had TB of the womb, so she had to have it removed."book review, 2021) – “The Russian Artistic Genius through the Ages”, Dance Chronicles, Taylor and Francis

That play generated a greater public response than any one-off piece in the history of British television, apart from Ken Loach's Cathy Come Home. The Daily Mirror alone received 1,800 letters after its broadcast. But Through the Night is simply not a work people remember Griffiths for, any more than Country (1981), a not wholly unsympathetic study of a Tory family on the eve of the 1945 Labour landslide, or Last Place on Earth, his epic TV drama about the race to the South Pole, broadcast in 1985. At one point the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen quotes a Norse poem: "Cattle die. Kings die. Even you will die. The one thing that does not die is judgment over the dead." And, in the case of a playwright, Griffiths might have added, judgment over the living. Griffiths, Attenborough explains, meant he would have given his lifeblood to write the script. It has since been turned down by film producers in Los Angeles, London, Tokyo and by BBC Television. (Though Radio 4, under current controller Mark Damazer, had the wit to broadcast a production in 2008.) The titles of some of those photographs, or descriptions I should say, are just horrific.
