NOTES
ON A WEST WIND RISING....1968
By Allan Peacock. Repeated 28 Sep 73.
Strange sights seen in the sky may well have been Grannie up to her old
tricks again. You may not believe it, but then neither did Alec - Sir
Alexander Hogarthy, world-renowned anthropologist - until brought
face-to-face with ceratin facts that he couldn't ignore.
Peter Jeffrey as Alec, Meg Wynn Owen as Jane, Marjorie Westbury
as Gran, Heath Walker as Trevor.
Producer: Brian Miller (1968).
