The Beginnings of the Valeyard (Clips) - Michael Jayston in an Absurd "Crown Court" Case

Clips from an unusually hilarious episode of Crown Court, about an absurd, fictional case (written by absurdist playwright N.F. Simpson), in 3 parts, with Michael Jayston, Anton Rodgers, Raymond Huntley, Richard Wordsworth, Denis Lill, John Leeson, June Brown, Sydney Bromley, J.G. Devlin, Gwen Nelson. Directed by Darrol Blake.

In this bizarre case Cosmic Planning Consultants are suing another company. The latter accused the former of irresponsibility in building an old people's home at the top of a Himalayan mountain with the toilets sited three thousand feet below. The plaintiffs insist their unusual choice of location was the right one and they have been unfairly maligned.
