Unfair Exchanges - Screen Two - Julie Walters - BBC

Here's one of my favourite BBC Screen Two dramas "Unfair Exchanges" broadcast in 1985 starring Julie Walters as a single mother seemingly haunted by a sinister telephone system that seems to have become an evil intelligence in its own right. Screen Two was a British television anthology drama series, produced by the BBC and transmitted on BBC1 from 1985 to 1994. Following the demise of the BBC's Play for Today which ran from 1970 to 1984, producer Kenneth Trodd was asked to formulate a new series of one-off television dramas. However, while Play For Today's style had been a largely studio based form of theatre on television, the new series was shot entirely on film. This was an attempt by the BBC to repeat the success of Channel 4's television films, many of which had been released in cinemas.
