Red Letter Day: Bag of Yeast (Seventies TV Season)

The introduction to this series of posts on 1970s TV shows can be found here: Red Letter Day (1976) suffers from a couple of considerable handicaps which I think may account for its lack of presence in the cult TV blogosphere. The first is that it was only ever seven episodes so viewers never got time to remember the excellent episodes while forgetting the less good ones - inconsistent writing always being the lot of the anthology series. The first, Ready When You Are, Mr McGill is excellent (and in fact won an academy award). It's worth seeking out the series for that play alone. On the other hand, Amazing Stories is barking mad. It may be that I was distracted by the stuffed ?wolfhound which dominates most of the scenes but try as I might I found it difficult to detect the plot which is supposed to be a family being taken over by vegetables.
