Episodes include "School Play", "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour", "The Brylcreem Boys". It was aired in 1979.

Drama fans who appreciate slow-burn storytelling will feel right at home with Playhouse Season 6. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point.

It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.
