Reception
editCandida was in fact Wendy Craig's first main lead acting role on television where she had played the main character. The very next week just after Candida had been released the BBC would then release Z-Cars which had brought a new kitchen-sink realism to TV drama. That same week the BBC also released the series Steptoe and Son as well.[3] Candida was broadcast only once on 29 December 1961 on BBC Television at 9:25 pm and it was never shown again due to the BBC's lack a major rebroadcasting rights.[4][5] The play is available to watch at the British Film Institute and on TV Brain.[6]
