Historical note: The British Drama League (later the AETF) started life in 1919 under the motivation of Geoffrey Whitworth and his desire to make "Theatre everybody's business". The early years focused on play writing and this is commemorated today by the Geoffrey Whitworth Trophy, awarded annually for the Best Original One Act Script.

A mini-biography of Patrick Cargill can be found at the excellent IMDb web site.
