    An Excellent Production.
    I saw this piece when it was first screened in 1970/71. It sticks in my mind, even now, as a tremendous piece of work. It inspired me to read the Seven Pillars of Wisdom. It was one of a number of productions screened at about the same period which first drew my attention to the work of Sir Ian McKellan, an actor for whom I have the greatest admiration. I would give a lot to be able to see again this production and the other televised pieces in which McKellan played.
