Međunarodni žiri, u kojemu je i frankfurtski književni kritičar Marcel Reich-Ranicki, Pintera (The Dumb Waiter, The Caretaker, Birthday Party) izabrao je između dvadeset kandidata.

The Birthday Party (Rođendanska proslava) iz 1958. isprva je doživjela neuspjeh unatoč pohvalnoj kritici u listu Sunday Times od strane vodećeg kazališnog kritičara Harolda Hobsona, ali uspješno je zaživjela nakon dobro primljene drame The Caretaker (Nadglednik) iz 1960. Ta dva djela, kao i drugi rani radovi poput drame The Homecoming (Povratak kući) iz 1964., ponekad se nazivaju " komedijama prijetnje ".

Više je Pinterovih drama dobilo filmsku inačicu: The Caretaker (1963.), The Birthday Party (1968.), The Homecoming (1973.) i Betrayal (Izdaja, 1983.).

" Caretaker ") 2371., USS Voyager, novi istraživački brod klase Intrepid, od Zvjezdane flote dobiva zadatak pronaći Makije - skupinu terorista pod vodstvom Chakotaya (nekadašnjeg časnika Zvjezdane flote) koji prosvjeduju zbog manjkavog mirovnog sporazuma između Federacije i Kardasijanske unije.

u prvi mah sam pomislio da će Tito V biti samo ' caretaker ' do kraja sezone no Zubizzareta je bio jasan i rekao da Tito preuzima Barcu od ljeta kao punopravni trener. logika uprave Katalonaca je čini mi se slijedeća - ključni igrači Barce sigurno ostaju u klubu, momčad je stabilna i uigrana, a nakon ove relativno slabe sezone biti će i dodatno motivirana da se vrati - u takvim okolnostima njima niti ne treba neki trener revolucionar koji bi radio radikalne rezove već netko tko će samo podmazivati mašinu... upravo zbog toga Tito je izbor broj 1.
