As Attenborough recollects, when he called Griffiths to suggest the idea of a work on Paine, there was silence at the other end of the line. She explained Griffiths is keen to engage with the probation service adding it is 'certainly a fall from grace for a 61-year-old man with no previous convictions'.

Abstract

Ms Wilde added that Griffiths was "confused about his sexuality" to which the judge commented "he's a little bit old for that" adding "he's got 24 grandchildren".

The Jenin play was never produced. There have been quite a few such disappointments in Griffiths' life – an extraordinary number, actually, when you consider that this man co-wrote the 1981 epic Reds, starring Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton. Reds was nominated for 12 Academy Awards, including best screenplay, and won three. Comedians, Griffiths' classic 1975 piece set in a night-school class for stand-up artists, made an international star of actor Jonathan Pryce after it transferred to Broadway. The play, set in Griffiths' native Manchester, remains the most powerful artistic contribution to the enduring debate as to where bold irreverence stops, and bullying begins, in that branch of theatre. Comedians’ first three venues, Rea observes, were all “basically liberal theatres, not [working men’s] clubs. But all the people who [you’d expect to] have anti-sexist, anti-racist views were laughing their legs off at McBrain. That was the great irony. The trouble is that if something’s funny, it’s funny.” The effect on audiences of watching Gethin follow McBrain helps explain why a behavourial psychologist friend of Griffiths once remarked that Comedians was the sole instance in his theatregoing experience “where you’re invited to laugh, and then get punished for it”. A grandad of 24 offered a '14-year-old boy' a trip to McDonald's in exchange for a seedy hotel stay. He graduated from Manchester University with a BA in English Language and Literature, and worked as a teacher, liberal studies lecturer, and further education officer for the BBC, before becoming a full-time writer in 1970. He is also a director in theatre and film. Carmel Wilde, defending, explained that Griffiths had pleaded guilty and had expressed 'confusion' and 'shame' for his behaviour.

She had a lump in her breast that was getting bigger. First they gave her a large dose of pethidine [a fast-acting opiate]. Then they gave her the consent form. It basically said: 'We believe this to be non-malignant but whatever we now discover, you empower us to treat it as we see fit.' So she went in for a biopsy and woke up without a breast. That was such a trauma for her." Appointed Lecturer in Economic and Social History at the University of Edinburgh in 1994, on a one-year contract, and subsequently proved so difficult to get rid of that the appointment was made permanent in 2000. I was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2004. For longer than I care to remember, I was Quality Assurance Officer for Economic and Social History, and then for the School of History and Classics, before becoming in 2010 the Head of the Economic and Social History section within the School of History, Classics and Archaeology.
