Omegapoint by BRUCE STEWART with Dinsdale Landen, audio drama (1975)
Omegapoint by BRUCE STEWART with Dinsdale Landen as Harry Claudius and Sydney Taffer as Czerny Harry Claudius is a disillusioned mortal. He regards ' the machine' as the natural enemy of man. This is a somewhat odd attitude for the Security Officer at Tor Sands Atomic Power Unit; but then Tor Sands, like Harry, is not fulfilling the promise of the early 50s. It is strange, and even a little sinister, that the energy plant should be computerised in such a highly sophisticated manner; and more sinister still that the communications room should pick up a strange, coded message. The only clear thing on it is the identification word-Omegapoint.

What The Butler Saw by Joe Orton
What the Butler Saw was one of several plays shown in the BBC’s Theatre Night strand in 1987. In this production Dinsdale Landen plays Dr Prentice with Prunella Scales playing Mrs Prentice. Timothy West (Prunella’s husband off-screen) perfectly incarnates the monstrous Dr Rance, a character so intoxicated with his own righteousness that he’s prepared to sign a committal order against anyone who crosses his path. (He boasts at one point of having committed his entire family.) It’s a great performance but West is ably matched by Dinsdale Landen and Prunella Scales. Barry Davis is the director. Plays such as this suffer without the involvement of an audience but this production gives an idea of how manic a decent stage production must be.

What the Butler Saw was one of several plays shown in the BBC’s Theatre Night strand in 1987. In this production Dinsdale Landen plays Dr Prentice with Prunella Scales playing Mrs Prentice.

(He boasts at one point of having committed his entire family.) It’s a great performance but West is ably matched by Dinsdale Landen and Prunella Scales. Barry Davis is the director. Plays such as this suffer without the involvement of an audience but this production gives an idea of how manic a decent stage production must be.
