Six-volume set featuring the acclaimed director's TV plays and dramas for the BBC. Leigh's best-known works during this productive period were the award-winning 'Abigail's Party' (1977), a satirical glimpse at middle-class values in the 1970s, and 'Nuts in May' (1976), the adventures of a self-righteous vegetarian couple trying, and failing, to enjoy the tranquility of Dorset on a camping holiday. Other dramas featured in the set include: 'Hard Labour', 'The Permissive Society', 'The Kiss of Death', 'Who's Who', 'Grown-Ups', 'Home Sweet Home', 'Four Days in July' and 'Five-Minute Films', a collection of five short films - 'Afternoon', 'Birth of the Goalie', 'Old Chums', 'A Light Snack' and 'Probation' - each lasting five minutes.

    Unique collection of Mike Leigh - totally original director

    A good find! In 1973, I had the privilege of assisting with the location sound for Mr Leigh's 'Hard Labour' set in his home town Salford. He even wrote me a letter of thanks - that's rare! Never saw 'rushes' or the complete broadcast. For many years, that early TV film was available only on the USA tech standard - no play in UK. Now at last I have the programme, playable on my UK desktop along with his other classics. Recent cinema masterpieces - Vera Drake, Mr Turner, Peterloo - are not here of course, but Nuts in May is.
