James Robson's groundbreaking lesbian drama Girl is a visually bland but boldly written short BBC play made for the Second City Firsts strand, filled with frank dialogue and unflinching performances, including that of Alison Steadman in an early lead role.

1975 | UK | Alan Bleasdale | ★★★

Alan Bleasdale's Early to Bed is an atypically po-faced and not entirely convincing yet tender and generally diverting short BBC play made for the Second City Firsts strand, featuring a notable early performance from Alison Steadman and a powerful ending.
