The Power Game, Series 1, Episodes 11 & 12 (1966)
Sir John Wilder schemes to get his company chairman, Caswell Bligh, to resign from the National Export Board. He appears to be successful in this, but such is the complexity of the plot that I wasn't entirely sure at the end of episode 11 whether Bligh was still a member of the Board or not.
Susan Weldon to Wilder: "I don't know how you get any work done at Bligh's, you're all too busy trying to manipulate one another".
That's what I wonder with every episode of this show I watch. How can the company even stay in business when its three main executives devote most of their energy to trying to destroy each other?
Episode 12: Kenneth Bligh takes steps to be selected as a candidate for the Conservative Party at the next election. Wilder trawls through the company accounts from the 1940s to try to find something to discredit Caswell Bligh. Wilder's dogsbody, Don Henderson, is on the verge of leaving because he's fed up of being treated like...a dogsbody.

An interesting fact is that there was a four month gap between the transmission of episodes 11 and 12. This was because the British Prime Minister Harold Wilson had called a general election just after episode 11 in February 1966, and the TV company was anxious not to broadcast anything with a political content in such a situation, when the governing Labour Party had a majority of just three seats in the House of Commons.
