  Peter McDougall's (Just Another Saturday Just A Boys Game) first televised script for the acclaimed BBC Play for Today series in 1972. Based on fact the story is of Alison who unexpectedly falls pregnant to Alex (David Hayman's first TV role). The couple decide to marry and break the news to their parents - an uncomfortable meeting and slightly acrimonious wedding follow exploring the sectarian divide of that era. A witty bleak and audacious tale which caused uproar after the original broadcast but was also proclaimed as the most exciting writing debut since John Osborne's Look Back in Anger. Another early triumph for Peter McDougall
