Short summary
A man mysteriously locks himself in a room in a boarding house leaving only a note saying he has decided to "retire from the world". His worried sister and the other boarders then try to discover why.
This film is considered lost as the BBC wiped its own archive copy in 1968.
There are audio tapes of all fours songs Dylan performed in the programme in existence, made by fans at the (only) time of broadcast using microphones next to the television speaker.
David Warner was a late addition to the cast, when the producer realised that Bob Dylan was unable to act. Dylan was left with one line of dialogue, and a singing role.
This was David Warner's first television role.
