  A staple part of children's programming throughout the eighties, Dramarama provided an early showcase for some of Britain's most accomplished screenwriters, directors and performers.

This first volume presents ten memorable screenplays from Thames Television, including the hugely popular Dodger, Bonzo and the Rest developed into a series the following year and the fantasy yarn Mr. Stabs, starring David Jason as the famously malevolent magician first seen in Ace of Wands.
