I am going mad trying to find a one-off tv drama from the 1970s and hope that someone remembers it.
The plot was about a young male teacher (or perhaps a youthworker) trying to build a playground for local youths who is confronted by rival gangs of skinheads and black youths. He is assited by a rather dubious teddyboy with a fixation on Gerry Lee Lewis. That is as much as I can remember.

Yes! Thank you Westengland for your knowledge of the obscure.
Thanks for the thanks. Play Things is in the BBC Archives but, as ever, when you'll get a chance to buy a video of it, if you'll get a chance, is another question altogether.
As Stephen Frears directed Play Things, that may help its eventual release. Why did Peter Prince's television career not develop much further?
