Removed the line: "While the original story has Wonderland populated by strange animals, this version was performed without animal costumes or indeed special effects." as I am currently watching the movie and it does indeed contain some special effects and a whole lot of people in animal costumes.

I see that someone has reinstated the erroneous claim that this was part of the Wednesday Play series. Jonathan Miller was not part of the Wednesday Play production team, while in her book Play for Today - The Evolution of Television Drama, Irene Shubik does not include it in the comprehensive episode guide for editions of The Wednesday Play & Play for Today. Although the play was screened on a Wednesday in the slot usually occupied by The Wednesday Play, it was categorically not part of it, and was not billed as such, either in the Radio Times or in newspaper listings.

This production is not really a 'play' nor is it a 'film of a play'. It's a film pure and simple - made on celluloid - as a film - using filmakers' techniques; but at the time (the 1960s) the UK broadcasters didn't call their own films anything other than plays. 194.72.120.131 ( talk) 11:14, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
It must (oh, surely) be the case that Jonathan Miller cast Anne-Marie Mallik because she made him think of what Susan Sontag might have been like (and looked like) at the same age. Stikko ( talk) 20:13, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
