A CELEBRATION OF PLAY FOR TODAY

9PM, BBC4 ★★★★

Dennis Potter, Ken Loach (left), Caryl Churchill and Mike Leigh were just some of the great talents involved in making more than 300 Plays For Today on the BBC between 1970 and 1984. This new celebration looks back on a varied and taboo-busting body of work, and a classic follows at 10.30pm: Country.
