That's a new style of yours Uncle Chesterton....having a play where you have to guess what the ending is....you old smarty-pants .....how innovative of you.
Thank you Chesterton Here's a short synopsis "Based on the light comedy by James Bridie from a play by Bruno Frank A widow has been fined for non-payment of her dog licence, and her dog, Patsy, has been confiscated. This starts a storm of trouble in the little Scottish town of Baikie. " Cheers from Canada North
According to Genome, this Gordon Gildard adaptation / production is from 1939 ! Features Halbert Tatlock playing Willie Thomson, the Lord Provost...and a really enjoyable little romp in the style of Whiskey Galore....
This was a great play. Reminded me of Ibsen's plays, which flew in the face of the convention of his time. My favourite character was Mrs. Flanagan. How the actress was able to spew out all that dialogue without taking a breath, I'll never know. She deserves an Oscar or its radio equivalent. Thanks for posting this.
The ending is missing. Any possibility of your providing it? Or was this the way it was broadcast? :) I think I can see where it was heading, but it would be nice to actually hear the end of it.
Stop! This cuts off abruptly before the end. Don't give up on this play, though. Search YT: Storm in a Teacup BBC. Yes, there's another posted by Chesterton with a B&W movie still. It seems shorter at 1:25:09 but the ending is fully included.
Lots of comments about the ending being missing. The play is well over at the point that the 'ending' goes missing. There is probably about one sentence missing, but it has no consequence at that point. Everything has been already wrapped up by then.

Bruno Frank ? So Frank Bruno was an assumed name ?

.much ADO about nothing.
An excellent, clever, thought provoking and inspiring play. Thank you,
Such fun! Thank you.
Thank you, Miranda's mother.... 😉
🇨🇦Most enjoyable - thanks for posting.
Wishing you a happy New Year🙏
Completely entertaining!
Super play. Very well acted by everyone. The missing conversation over the cup of tea would have made a more satisfactory ending.
This was very, very good!😂👍
Enjoyed that.
There is a 1937 Movie, starring Rex Harrison, Vivian Leigh and Cecil Parker.
Excellent.

She reminds me of Mrs. Doyle in Father Ted😊
@michaelberg9656 Yes, A good comparison.
So cute 🥰.
Enjoyable 👍
Pity the ending cuts off abruptly.

I was enjoying this a lot but then it just stopped, pity.
This was good but it was cut short.
I don't know when this was first broadcast, but it is still very relevant to Scottish politics.

Sounds just like Jamie from outlander
Welcome Outlander to the radio play
Why does this cut off mid-sentence? I'm waiting for the happy ending!
🐺 woof woof 😂
Why would I listen if the ending is missing.
Who played Mrs Flanagan?
COMMENTS SAY NO ENDING...UGGG
UNSUBED

I can't understand the actress who's playing Mrs Flanagan
Oh, and sure is that not a pity
