AP#2.5 - The Juggler (19 July 1970)

 Australian television play about a movie producer. The ABC commissioned it from Peter Yeldham, who was an Australian writer based in London at the time. Was this the first piece he'd done written expressly for Australian television?

Cast

  • Terence Cooper as a movie star
  • John Meillon as a movie producer
  • Sandy Gore
  • Robert Dunlap

Production

It was produced by Eric Tayler.

Was this the first TV script they commissioned Yeldham to write for Australian TV? Must check.

Dunlap was in Chimes at Midnight.

Reception

The Sydney Morning Herald said Cooper was "brilliant". 

The Age called it "absorbing".
