Storyboard - Lytton's Diary (1983)

When journalist Neville Lytton hears a rumour from a reliable contact about squeaky clean environmental MP Jonathan Burridge, involving a 'hostess' and links to a chemical company selling arms to apartheid South Africa, he is quick to publish the allegations in his newspaper column in the Daily News. However, all is not as it seems, and before he knows it Lytton is fighting for his very career. Is he being set up or is something much deeper going on...

Starring Peter Bowles, Frances Tomelty, Iain Cuthbertson, Ralph Bates, Ivor Roberts, Kate Coleridge, Abigail Cruttenden, Hal Cruttenden, Jonny Lee Miller, Ceri Jackson, John Michie, Jon Line, Ian Lindsey, Mel Churcher, Kwame Kwei-Amarh, Naomi Buch, Madeline Wynn, Neville Phillips, Martin Sadler and Peter Sands among the cast. This was another test episode that actually went on to spawn a series in 1985, proving anthology series Storyboard quite a success when it came on TV in 1983.
