Plot

[edit]

A group of people working for the West End theatre are about to start a new show but Freddie Churton and Pure who work for the group are so egotistical stars, but they soon develop a grand passion which threatens to disrupt the new show that Cyril Smallpiece is working on.[3]

Cast

Production

[edit]

The concept idea for this Across a Crowded Room along with the first draft script for this TV Movie first started being worked on by Philip Mackie in 1976, until it was then finished in 1977. Peter Willes, Brenda Loader and Marc Miller (all from Yorkshire TV) worked together to make script changes and revisions to make sure the script would translate well to a TV Movie.[4]

Reception

[edit]

Across a Crowded Room was also said to be an episode of the 1978 tv series A Play For Love, although it's more viewed as a TV Movie rather than an episode of a series.[5][6] The TV Movie itself received great positive feedback from both critics and audiences. Across a Crowded Room has unfortunately like many other old TV Movies around this time period has not been released on DVD or any other home media platforms, although the TV Movie is available to watch at the British Film Institute.[7][8]
