Caught On A Train (BBC 2 Playhouse) Stephen Poliakoff

click to close

Oscar-winning actress Dame Peggy Ashcroft stars as an enigmatic elderly Austrian woman travelling across Europe by train. Over the course of one overnight journey, she has a profound and unsettling influence on the young Englishman who is her fellow passenger...

Originally broadcast in 1980, Caught on a Train was inspired by a journey Stephen Poliakoff made form London to Vienna as a young man of 25. The drama has endured as one of his most popular works. It is by turns both nightmarish and deeply moving.
