Television play From the 1950s until the early 1980s, the television play was a television programming genre in the United Kingdom. The genre was often associated with the social realist-influenced British drama style known as "kitchen sink realism", which depicted the social issues facing working-class families. "Armchair Theatre" (ABC, later Thames, 1956–1974), "The Wednesday Play" (BBC, 1964–1970) and "Play for Today" (BBC, 1970–1984) received praise from critics for their quality. In the United States, television plays were seen mainly from 1948 to 1961, the period of live TV dramas which framed the Golden Age of Television.
