Throughout the 1970's, British television network ITV comissioned 199 episodes of short plays, from regional television companies in the network. Most of the writers were just beginning their careers, along with various actors who then went on to be famously known. Jack Rosenthal and Johnny Speight are two such writers from this stable.

Writing for ITV Sunday Night Theatre (1969), Dennis Potter introduced the notion that popular music expresses the yearning of the human spirit for a better world. A troubled young man, David Peters (Ian Holm), claims, "Once dreams were possible, that's what the popular songs told us." Rejecting rock music of the day, Peters is immersed in the tunes of Thirties crooner Al Bowlly (killed during the London blitz). He collects Bowlly memorabilia, publishes the Bowlly fan-club newsletter, and finds pleasure in lip-synching Bowlly records but his obsession with Bowlly masks certain darker events in his past.
