"What sort of a depraved mind could think up such dirty rubbish as ‘Derek’… Youngsters watching this filth cannot help but be tainted." – part of a letter to the editor regarding 1974 teleplay ‘Derek’.

🔗 Watch the full teleplay, don’t miss Mune’s backgrounder 'Ever Increasing Dismay', and explore more in The Ian Mune Collection at NZ On Screen.
