Brian Hayes

Black Tom Tyrant is a compelling dramatization of the impeachment and trial of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Stratford and Lord Deputy of Ireland, in the year 1641. This production aired on Saturday, September 18, 1976, at 20:30 on BBC Radio 4 FM.

Featuring a talented cast, including Denys Hawthorne as Strafford and Noel Johnson as John Pym, the story unfolds with a cautionary message: 'My Lords let us beware of creating new treasons that condemn the subject on doubtful evidence.' The production was produced and directed by Roger Pine at BBC Birmingham.
