I suppose a large part of the difficulty in finding Brechtian material
on TV arises from the extreme reluctance of the broadcast companies so
much as to think of distancing narratives from audiences.  Their
executives train their minds primarily to getting viewers to stick to the
screen...
 
Perhaps some of the screenplays of Dennis Potter fit the bill?
