In 1967, as she began work assembling scripts for the third season of "Out of the Unknown", Shubik accepted the chance to take over as co-producer (with Graeme MacDonald) of "The Wednesday Play", BBC1’s premier drama slot, producing such plays as Tony Parker's “Mrs Lawrence Will Look After It”, William Trevor's “A Night With Mrs Ta Danka” and Peter Terson's “The Last Train Through the Harecastle Tunnel”. In 1970, she oversaw the transition of "The Wednesday Play" into "Play for Today". The most well received play she oversaw for "Play for Today" was Jeremy Sandford's "Edna, the Inebriate Woman", which was later ranked 57th in the British Film Institute's list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes published in 2000. However, "Edna"s writer Jeremy Sandford later wrote that Shubik seemed to "sabotage" the effectiveness of the play influencing policy makers in her 1975 book on television drama by questioning the veracity of its content.
