Whilst best-known for his work for the stage, this collection celebrates Pinter's significant contribution to television. His work for the screen shares many of the qualities of that for the stage, from a fascination with the private roots of power and an abiding preoccupation with memory, to a belief in the agency of women. Featuring 10 plays made for the BBC between 1965 and 1988, and previously unavailable on DVD, highlights include Tea Party (1965), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eOld Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (1975) and 1987's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Birthday Party\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e which sees a rare example of Pinter acting in his own work.
