Owen, Alwyn (b.1926), Producer

In this satirical episode of Spectrum, Alwyn Owen gives a pointed, if unorthodox, portrayal of one of our most chronic problems: Inflation. An old lady falls victim to exploding prices; a unique horse race; and what happens when inflation runs riot in the hospital operating theatre. Song, commentary, staged interviews, wildlife recreations, and characterization come together in this unique comedic form.
