Roots

The season of studio dramas continues with Arnold Wesker's classic play of the 1950s that passionately extols the value of education. The distinguished cast includes Jane Horrocks, Pam Ferris, Imelda Staunton. Beatie returns to her family home in Norfolk, having been "educated" in cultural and political matters by Ronnie, the boyfriend she lived with in London. Through trying to pass on the things she's learnt to her uninterested family, she discovers her own voice and views - which are no longer just an echo of Ronnie's.
