RD WINGFIELD - His first radio play, Compensating Error was accepted by the BBC in 1968 and two more were then commissioned, at which point Wingfield resigned from his job.
COMPENSATING ERROR....1968 Rodney Wingfield's first play - set in a bank. There's a new manager who's only interested in productivity, and there are sackings. But two redundant old buffers hatch a plan to get their own back. Stars Derek Guyler and George Benson.
....."Compensating Error", by R.D.Wingfield (Midweek Theatre, 3 Sept, 1969).....a play which brings back not-so-happy memories of office life back in the 1960s, with its petty backbiting and intrigues, and which has a nice twist in its tail. Splendid characterisations of two crafty old buffers by Deryck Guyler and George Benson. (-Roger Bickerton).
