    Missing Synopsis: George, who was tortured in a prisoner-of-war camp when his plans for escape were discovered, is now dead after five years in a mental home. His five fellow prisoners had sworn that if George died, they would kill the man who had betrayed him to the Germans. But which of them would do the killing? And how? (Internet Archive) Aired March 3rd, 1962 on BBC.

    We all like these old dramas and this is certainly a good one. Sometimes the sound quality is worse than this one! But whats the point of complaining about it?? I am sure the uploader did their best! Be grateful, and be at peace with your own decision on whether or not to listen.

    I’m being obtuse but I don’t get the ending. Was it murder? If so, who did it? I don’t expect an answer as it will spoil it for anyone else who may wish to listen to this play. Perhaps I should have listened w full concentration. Thank you Chesterton Radio for all these downloads regardless. A treasure trove to enjoy, missing the point of one or two included.

      Spoiler Alert! Do not read if you haven't listened to it all . . .
      As the men are confessing but still a bit puzzled, George's father who is one of the senior policemen, admits that he did the murder. He intends to kill himself after confessing, but the detective inspector has removed the ammunition from the gun so he fails. But it is implied that there will be mercy for those involved. Mina, you might want to listen to the last 10 mins again.

      @@bjackins1879 Ending was a bit muddled IMHO, everyone confessing then all owning the same type of gun.
      I did hear the true perpetrator, and though "Who was this guy again?". The problem with audio I suppose since that guy didn't have a major part in the story. I could barely recall him.

    Cleverly plotted murder mystery. As good as any of Agathas '. - and more

      Hello Simon...that was a trickier question than I first thought. It aired on March 3 1962 but I can’t find on which radio station. Presumably the BBC. It also appeared as a television play on the BBC in 1959 when the murderer is described as a doctor rather than the job chosen in this version.👍
