Right Prospectus

The Right Prospectus focuses on a middle-aged couple who attempt to inveigle their way into a public school as pupils. John Osborne was prompted to write the script by a dream in which he imagined himself to be back at school as an adult.

It was first broadcast as a Play for Today on BBC1 in October 1970.

'Not merely the most distinguished original television play of the year, but one which will linger uneasily in my mind for years ahead.' Daily Telegraph
