Eleanor Witcombe told Susan Lever
I did one of my kid’s plays called ‘Smugglers Beware,’ and I see that I have said that I adapted it but looking back I evidently didn’t, I just suggested things because the director said, ‘Oh, that’s alright we’ll put it together,’ and I saw it a couple of years ago and I deny I had anything to do with the adaptation. I did recognise the play, and that was the first thing of mine on television I suppose you could say.
