A Day Out

Alan Bennett's first television play, directed in black and white in 1972 by Stephen Frears. A charming comedy set in Edwardian Yorkshire, it follows a cycling club on a day out. A fantastic cast features Brian Glover, who was still a professional wrestler at the time, and Paul Shane, who was then a club comic.
