My dear mom taught me this timeless saying long ago when I was young, “Oh, what a wicked web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”. Throughout my life, I’ve witnessed this fact of nature play out as stated. We all have experienced this life lesson. It is a sign of loose ethics and low morel sense when older folks who know better continue to lie. The truth eventually is exposed.
Not sure when this was produced or broadcast, but Keith Michell (who played Dancy here) also played Henry VIII in the TV drama Henry VIII And His Six Wives in 1972, and The Six Wives of Henry VIII, a TV series, in 1970. He played Henry VIII again in 1996 in The Prince and the Pauper, a TV mini-series, and had a recurring role in Murder She Wrote as Dennis Stanton, a reformed jewel thief.
Synopsis: A wealthy houseguest at an upper-class gathering, who happens to be Jewish, is robbed of £1,000. Evidence points to the guilt of another guest. How will the host react? This was released as a movie in 1933 and the BBC broadcast a TV version in 1976.

Yes, I’m afraid this is all the BBC could now list on their database but it’s better than nothing. I won’t post any more you can look them up yourselves.
Enjoyed & suffered the insufferable. Aways & still anti-Seminitism rears its ugly head. Hearing Jews being called, as the Nazis called them, swine... & by the culprit, whose lack of morals was to blame. Yet we are made to sympathise w him... more than w the abused man.
Thank you. An excellent story and radio adaptation. However, ghastly prejudice against the victim of the robbery and Ronnie's arrogant and deplorable denial. Xxx
Hi, I'm desperately searching for The BBC version of Justice by John Galsworthy!!! Have you any clues?? I'm an Iranian translator who have translated many works of him and I'm trying to remake Justice in Persian , I'd be very grateful if you could help me !!!
I just tweeted 'Few plays/ films held my attention like 'Loyalties' (1922) by John Galsworthy; a #BBCR4 radio play. Covers q.s like #Antisemitism, traditional aristocratic / military notions reut '#honour' (the kind ppl fought duels 4); vg showing social history post #WW1'
This is a very good drama So why didn't they search the all the rooms for the money . Some of these Characters are very biased in this drama. Let the detective 🕵️♂️ work out who took or stole money intresting easy to follow this play.
In today’s fevered perceived ‘ antisemitic ‘ atmosphere we would never hear the word ‘Jew ‘ in any context. Famous authors used this word frequently (Agatha Christie - Josephine Tey et al) in a less than flattering manner.

Yes , its by Sir Walter Scott....and I know and have suffered from teaching managers doing just that!
Yes. The wages of sin and all that......
A lot of lies and deception never get exposed.
"Honesty is the best policy".
Deception and lies hurt people especially those who grew up in an honest family.
Of all the sins, lying is the worst.
Very gripping. Very well crafted story as one would expect from Galsworthy. Lovely to hear English well spoken.
Excellent play1 Those guys of that generation realy knew their craft. Tx for putting it up here. of great social-historical interest too
First presented in 1926, the year my Dad was born, he was as great as this drama, thank-you very much xx
Love JG. Loved the Forsyte Saga. Love this!
These plays make me nostalgic for a time I never lived in. ❤️
Sorry to say..it was also a time when bigots racists antisemites ruled the world.👎
Wow. That was a good listen
Excellent middle brow play. Saturday Night Theatre at it's best. Many thanks.
John King A high brow play being? Just a few examples? Thanks in advance. Wilde, Shakespeare, for example?
@@mckavitt13 Don’t worry; one man’s high brow is another man’s premature balding 😉
Thanks for sharing and the effort to bring it to so many. What a treasure!!!
Thanks for this excellent play.
Excellent. Thank you.
Too many Loyalties in this world. Ive been a victim of them. The truth stands the longest. Thank you for this upload.
I Agree with you. I was taught these lessons aswell. The truth will stand all by itself. It needs nothing to aide or assist it. ❤😘🥰🙏

Very enjoyable.

Clive Fuller-Hale No synopsis whatever. Just a blurb of dialogue which doesn’t touch on the crux of the thing.
Yes, I’m afraid this is all the BBC could now list on their database but it’s better than nothing. I won’t post any more you can look them up yourselves.
@@clivefuller-hale5073 I agree & am just stating the facts. I found the precise info on google. Plus, I trust the radio plays you offer. ♡♡♡

Yeah, always being persecuted for no reason at all.
@@urbanitecrusher5709 You don't sound sincere, but I am.
I think that is simplistic.
Not me I never sympathised with him, he was a thief and a lier.
@@jantregidgo Liar. Yup.
Thank you. An excellent story and radio adaptation. However, ghastly prejudice against the victim of the robbery and Ronnie's arrogant and deplorable denial. Xxx
Thank goodness the pretence of 'honour' has now gone. In reality they'd have all been steeped in hypocrisy
Thanks for another great upload. Cancel culture, being cut for breaking the unwritten code, the esprit de corps.

Is this it?
Ah - just noticed Tottie Mae commented that the BBC 1976 version was tv, not a radio play, so it’s probably not.
This is the TV version but Thanks a thousand for that replay
Understandably the age of this recording excuses the crackles & pops, but the sound-effects guy does overdo all the opening & closing of doors!

Why no plot summary??

This is on you tube under another name,but very good.
Ahhh, but H as the 6th vowel 🥰
I was shouting at the radio. Class, anti semetism, stiff upper lip, lies.. It was brilliant but the theif was despicable!
This is an odd piece. It seems to expect of the audience a certain grudging sympathy for a character who is a vile, mendacious, thieving, racist snob.
People who abuse their power and privilege have to get the book thrown @ them.
In today’s fevered perceived ‘ antisemitic ‘ atmosphere we would never hear the word ‘Jew ‘ in any context. Famous authors used this word frequently (Agatha Christie - Josephine Tey et al) in a less than flattering manner.
Perceived ?
The Jewish character here is the most
likeable.....the others are a ghastly shower.!!
