Telford's Change

A middle aged banker at the pinnacle of his career gets tired of the stress and strain of constant work and travel and decides to demote himself to a small bank in Dover. It doesn't sound interesting on the printed page but is in fact fascinating in the hands of actor Peter Barkworth and writer/director Brian Clark. 10 memorable episodes, with Hannah Gordon and Keith Barron leading an outstanding supporting cast. The scene in the eighth episode, which I won't go into for reasons of spoilage, between Telford and his boss, played by actor Simon Lack, is as revelatory and stunning as any scene in any play I've seen EVER. It's a scandal that this brilliant series has never been released on DVD. Hopefully that situation will be rectified soon. I haven't been able to get a copy of the follow up production of the Barkworth/Clark team, Late Starter. That's another scandal.
