Follow the Yellow Brick Road
''Follow the Yellow Brick Road'' is a television play by Dennis Potter, first broadcast in 1972 as part of BBC Two's ''The Sextet'' series of eight plays featuring the same six actors. The play's central theme is of popular culture becoming the inheritor of religious scripture, which anticipated Potter's later serial ''Pennies from Heaven'' (1978). The play's title is taken from the song used in ''The Wizard of Oz''; another version of which features in the incidental music.
==Synopsis==
Jack Black is a disturbed actor who believes himself to be trapped in a television play, followed around by an invisible camera. Having sought the help of an NHS hospital psychiatrist, Jack explains that although he has recently only been able to find work in television commercials he much prefers them to television plays, which he considers morally corrupting. He goes on to reveal that his sexual disgust drove his wife Judy into having an affair with his agent Colin and that he has lost his faith.
Leaving the psychiatrist's surgery he encounters his wife, who persuades him to go somewhere where they can talk. They head to Barnes Common where Jack becomes violent and, convinced the camera is on him again (he acted in a dog food commercial there), decides to disrupt the narrative by running Judy over with her car. In an attempt to restore some 'goodness' into the plot he goes to Colin's flat to see his young wife Veronica, who mistakes his declarations of love as a sexual advance and invites him to seduce her. At an appointment the next day (junior) Doctor Bilson prescribes Jack with some different drugs to alleviate his paranoia. Jack leaves the hospital and climbs into a car with his wife Judy – and the whole play ends with "Jack's next job (in reality or imagination) ... fronting a presentation"〔W. Stephen Gilbert ''The Life and Work of Dennis Potter'', Woodstock and New York: Overlook Press, 1998, p.202〕 for his newly prescribed drugs.
