With respect, Rory, I think you were a bit young at the time to "get" them, just as I (born 1980) was too young to "get" the better bits of ScreenPlay/Screen One/Screen Two/Film on Four. I've got a lot of pleasure, *and* learnt a lot about the era, from the examples I've recently seen in the BFI's Mediatheque.
Whatever you think of the (presumably Radiophonic) music on the March 73 version, it has an almost Soviet look which fits with some of the plays' politics (ditto the plainness of 78).
@RobinCarmody Absolutely. I love some of the PFTs now though and realise how lucky I am to have grown up when British TV was at its best.
The March 1973 reminds me of the animations that appeared in early editions of Rainbow. I was wondering if it was a one-off - the play in question was Mike Leigh's Hard Labour.
The start with the green font must have influenced the titles of series 2 of Look Around You!

This is the only time I've seen City Stencil used for anything, ever. I really enjoyed all of these, even the two awful ones!
