Studio 4 is an anthology drama series utilising BBC Television Centre's Studio Four, and running for two series in 1962 on BBC One. It was envisaged as a sequel to Storyboard, a similar anthology series which had been transmitted the previous year.
Seasons
Season 1
Despite being decorated with a German Service Cross, Willi Wegler is inwardly sickened by both Hitler's genocidal war and the complicity of his fellow citizens in Third Reich brutalities. Wracked by guilt, he suddenly betrays his country in a profound gesture of protest and self-sacrifice – an act that cannot fail to precipitate a series of dramatic events.
Season 2
Revered Polish-Jewish educator, pediatrician, and writer Janusz Korczak chose to die with nearly 200 orphans from his Warsaw Ghetto orphanage, leading them calmly to the Treblinka extermination camp in August 1942 rather than abandoning them.
