Description: 'The Arcata Promise', first presented by Yorkshire Television in 1974, is a study of the grotesque self-pity of an unstable actor, a merciless account of individual self-delusion and failure. Once a successful actor, Gunge now lives in a grimy basement, arguing with a disembodied Voice and fantasising about violence.
