- TriviaBetween A Distant Thunder (1970) and Hearts and Flowers (1970), the BBC scheduled eight repeats under the "Play For Today" banner. The first was a repeat of Robin Redbreast (1970), which had originally aired just 78 days earlier, but a power cut had caused a blackout during many areas during its first broadcast.
The other seven were episodes of The Wednesday Play (1964), Plays of Today (1969) and Theatre 625 (1964), being rebroadcast as "Play for Today: Seven Selected Plays" from 11th March - 22nd April 1971. The plays in question were: No Trams to Lime Street (1970), Mad Jack (1970), Scenes from Family Life (1969), Wind Versus Polygamy (1968), Double Bill: The Compartment/Playmates (1969) (Playmates only), Sovereign's Company (1970) and Season of the Witch (1970).
