Press clippings
The funniest thing about They Never Slept by Simon Gray (BBC2) was the fact that like 'Allo 'Allo it was considered inimical to the country's war effort. Transmission was postponed from January. The suggestion that British intelligence was barking mad is, of course, to be deprecated. Very prettily made with Emily Morgan as "a simple, patriotic, dim-witted girl" and Edward Fox as the chief barker.
