I was just looking thru the soundtracks section when it made me remember something. I was quite young, defintely well before I was married and still living at home. I was still at school I think probably in the 6th form so it could have been around 1969 to 1971. I watched a play on BBC television. Probably the Wednesday Play as it was known and as the credits came up they played out with the song One Of Us Cannot Be wrong. Anybody else remember? I have no memory of anything else about the play.

Glyn this is a bit of non information. I am the same age as you and I can't remember it but you know what they say..........

That makes three of us, Paula. I used to watch the Wednesday Play whenever I could get a babysitting job midweek, as it was not the sort of thing they would have watched at home. I certainly don't remember that one, maybe I couldn't get a job that week.

I can't even remember anything called the Wednesday Play. I remember Playhouse. Still I was a good girl I was probably doing my homework or playing knock down ginger or british bulldog. Three of us having a non information conversation here

It may be a bit of non-information, but why make the listing anyway if other contributions can't be added. Still, you must remember The Wednesday Play. It's influence was paramount, 'Cathy Come Home' was shown here and started a nationwide debate in the UK. Anyway after all that drivel, I was WRONG! The song wasn't One of Us Cannot Be Wrong, but it was 'Stories Of The Street'. I just have this toal memry of it. It must have started halfway thru because the lines that stick in my mind are 'take me to the slaughter house and I'll die there with the lamb'. Any one remeber now.

No I still don't remember it, but I do remember Cathy Come Home I didn't realise that was the Wednesday play. Who was the blonde bint who played Cathy. Ken Loach directed that. Brilliant piece of directing and acting well before its time.
