      Ah but it's not just the BBC plays, unfortunately. There are American plays muddled through it and I'm afraid that they are just simply unlistenable! Could you really put all your BBC plays together in one list? There's obviously a demand for the BBC ones as there are plenty of little channels that pop up with just a few, all the time.

      A young listener here. There's plenty of modern dramas produced by BBC Sounds which are, if you ask me, worth listening to ( just try giving 24 Kildare Road a listen, you may like it). There can be some dramas which you may not find something to write home about.

      Lithuania and speak&read quite a few languages after living in various countries, but these BBC radio dramas are definitely the best I’ve been listening to. The quality is amazingly good compared to what’s offered nowadays not only in GB but all over the world. Thank you so much for posting these true jewels 🤩. Hopefully you’ll be able to go on pleasing hundreds of nostalgic people like me for a very long time. Thank you again.

    I don't know if other people have noticed this, but it seems to me that the older programs like this one (pre 2001) have a warmer, softer, richer sound quality than more modern BBC productions. Maybe it was when they switched from analog to digital recording formats? In any respect, i find the older productions much more satisfying aurally.

    So nice that Authors didn't use foul language, explicit sex, or violence to get the true meaning across.
    Just goes to show how a whole generation has lost imagination through visual effects. I'd rather read a book, so good you can visualize the scene, hear the characters voices, and where sex doesn't have to be explained in any detail, except the anticipation of of the expectectation...isn't that the journey?

      The UK is deteriorating out of all recognition, so woke that you can hardly breathe without offending someone. You walk on eggshells in some quarters, and it's becoming lost to strangers who are taking over. Tragic. These plays are an oasis.

    Much better entertainment than modern BBC radio plays....the contemporary plays are far too intense, they try too hard to be clever and sensational, pretentious, also the authors seem to think it's their responsibility to educate the rest of the population about the latest politically correct thinking attitude we are forced to adopt.

    Mr. Chesterton, could it be possible to give the date the play was performed? For example, on this one they keep mentioning mid sixties years and having a reference date would help to follow the play. Of course I know there are some plays where they mention the “present” date hence no need to do so. Thank you a lot for downloading all this material. They are excellent .

      I think it is about 1978, because of the music playing in the sisters flat. They talk about the 60s as being quite some time ago in the dialogue.
