\n Here are three photos culled from ‘Guests of the Nation\u2019 directed by Donald McWhinnie in the early 1980s.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n The Play was set in 1921 Southern Ireland, two English soldiers being held hostage by Irish Nationalists in a small Irish cottage. Despite friendly relations developing they were threatened with execution should the British execute two of their Nationalist prisoners. Timothy Spall, hardly twenty, was one of the Englishmen. Light weight Ikegamis, having infiltrated the TVC, gave Donald the idea of surrounding the cottage with earth and turf completely covering the floor of TV7. It was shot entirely on two Ikegamis mounted on tripods. As always with Donald it was an enjoyable shoot, but not without its problems.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Nice to see a shot of John and yourself. Here\u2019s a shot of him on TO19 back in June 1964. We were at Stratford recording items for our show.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
