Watched Traitor from the BBC's #PlayForToday - John Le Mesurier playing Kim Philby with the serial numbers filed off in a script by Dennis Potter. It's a perfect coming together of script and performance to create something truly marvellous.

Watching today’s #PlayForToday, about a struggling school and an Ofsted inspection. It’s quite a difficult watch.

I'd recommend SPECIAL MEASURES on Channel 5 at 9pm tonight, the last of the first series of Play for Today 2.0. It really captures the pressure cooker environment of a Merseyside school facing an OSFTED inspection. #PlayForToday

Really made up with this. Special Measures tonight at 9 on 5. #PlayForToday

Yes, it is very clear I preferred one to the other! (Yet, of course, I'm not every viewer, to paraphrase Chaka Khan)

Ruth: “Still seeing other soap characters behind Jill’s back, Leonard?”
Leonard: “I’m afraid so. I was in a #PlayForToday with Sheila Grant last week.” #TheArchers #Brookside

We missed the first #PlayForToday (it failed to record), but are watching “Big Winners” with Sue Johnston and Paul Copley. It is excellent.

#PlayForToday trivia: BIG WINNERS is only the second* Wednesday Play or Play for Today to be screened on 20 November, after William Trevor's macabre, melancholy play adapted from a short story, THE GENERAL'S DAY (20 Nov 1972), ft. Alistair Sim, no less, & Annette Crosbie. (1)

You can tell #PlayForToday is well and truly back when you get the odd malcontent viewer or critic bemoaning an inconclusive - that is to say, carefully ambiguous - ending!

#playfortoday this one is much better than last week’s! Question: how do you define a play if it’s not on stage? Less scenes? Less locations?

What I didn't understand about this Play for Today is why a room that's been locked up for 50 years would look this clean and free from dust? #PlayForToday

Paul Copley

Paul Copley deserves more recognition. He’s everyone’s Northern Dad in every series ever. A consummate character actor #PlayForToday
