With Intent - Laurence Henderson - BBC Saturday Night Theatre

- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- A policeman, walking his lonely beat, is blinded by a pointblank shotgun blast... and the fair haired assailant calmly walks away. With only a partial fingerprint to go on, the police doggedly stalk their elusive quarry. What happens is borne of the rage and frustration of two detectives who bait a clever trap.

Thank you for listening!
In the late sixties I never missed Saturday night Theatre ,,,,How good those days were ….Not a word of bad language…and well spoken people….Thank you for posting this…..
Listening is like being there, no need for vision. Wonderful experiences of these old plays, such a pity the likes of BBC left all this behind for the rubbish they have today. Many thanks. ❤👍
Completely agree with you.
And me.
That’s because you possess an IMAGINATION! Lol. Sadly the younger generation imagination has atrophied due to lack of use.
Was thinking about this just the other day when listening to bbc world service. Used to have dramas and comedy shows. Now just news and woke virtue signalling documentaries. So great to have this archive and others like it on you tube to remind us how good radio can be.
Really enjoyed this, thank you so much! So enjoyable! These radio dramas are absolute gold to us insomniacs! Again many thanks for sharing!!!
So enjoy these radio dramas. They were brilliant during Melbourne lockdowns and still enjoying them whilst walking many kms , gardening or simply relaxing with a wine or 2. 🙏😊 Thankyou for sharing.
Nothing I enjoy more than closing my eyes and being ‘read to’ especially if the voices are just right ❤
Boy, sounds like they had a radio drama on the wireless every night of the week! How wonderful that must have been. You can do lots of other things & still listen intently to a radio drama, not like the telly in which case you are glued to the image. Thanks be to God for the BBC archives. And many thanks to our poster! ***
So right you are 👍
Radio plays and audiobooks are the only way I manage any housework. Also excellent with embroidery/knitting/painting and general pottering about.

there's about 70 years of weekly plays to catch up on, they bring back such happy memories of my childhood in the 60s when my Nana used to get me to listen to them with her, to which I would fall asleep, good old days
There was a play every afternoon, Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening & a serial on every Sunday.
Radio has always had better pictures. Thankyou for these plays, takes me back as well to family Saturday nights listening to these brilliant dramas.
@@margaretseddon4627 even after a top notch film there isn’t ANYTHING as wonderful as the wireless 👌🤗🙏👏👏👏❤️😍
Funnily enough I was remembering a radio play from childhood which was so atmospheric and intriguing and then it was on Talking Pictures as a film... I remember the feeling of the radio play more!
There was a host of radio personalities that went along with these dramas, PC 49. Whitehall 1212., Saturday Night Theatre - one curled up with ones parents and let these tales dance around a darkened room, Such happy days - oh, forgot the dogs they curled up too.
Exactly. I'd go back in a heartbeat! 🙏🏻👌❤️👌 Oh! Journey Into Space too ❤️❤️❤️
Sounds idyllic! 😊👍❤
@@aprilblossom9268 It was, absolutely. The days of Radio Luxembourg and The Ovaltinies. I’m 77 and happy with my sons and grandson but I long for my mom and dad and the comfort of a frugal but caring and sharing home! Perhaps it’s my age. 🤗👌👌❤️
Yes agree. My Granny in Scotland sent me a wee transistor radio with an earpiece one time as I was left alone a lot so it was a great comfort listening to the likes of Radio Luxembourg although it eerily faded in and out. Landlady upstairs would be watching Dr Finlay etc ... Happy days 😊
I'm new to radio plays. This is so good. Excellent story and played out wonderfully by the actors. I am grateful to have found your channel. I thank you for the hard work (the love ) that you put in to bring us these. So very appreciated 🇨🇦
Chesterton Radio is a must in Lock-down. I climb into my earphones and am lost in these fantastic radio plays and the world seem miles away.
Me too! A fitting description….climbing into ones headphones! Love that.
Same!!! Cozy bed & headphones… close my eyes and I’m in a whole other world ❤❤❤
Excellent radio drama, again. I listen to a radio drama every night. Wonderful acting. Thank you for posting. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Perfect listening for me this morning. I far prefer the old plays than the new, speech is good & music superb for detective series! Thank you for uploading 👍👍
You make pertinent points.
Love British, radio drama, cozies, mysteries. Sherlock and Watson are great! I adore the family dramadies also. I explained my passion to our almost 12 year old grandson. He totally got it! As great as big screen, high tech, is; nothing as special as using our imaginations!
Thank you so much for continuing to entertain us.
Thank you Diane and well done getting your grandson onto audio. Think of all the jobs he will get done while listening to audio instead of parked in front of TV.
I truly appreciate these radio dramas. Thank you for downloading them for us all to enjoy!
Now is the time for ghost stories and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/Hex2ltykNTM/v-deo.html--Claud. If you don’t want to click the link just search “Claude Chabot presents” on UA-cam.
@@hudsony777 Sorry I don’t like ghosts stories👻
@@johnlindsay6923 Sorry to have troubled you. There are, however, one comedy and one mystery, if they interest you. Otherwise, thanks for responding.
@@hudsony777 No trouble ,I was just explaining or remarking I don’t like ghost stories but ill look out for the others.Thank you.
Lovin it in your own little radio world.
Thank you for posting this and other similar ones. Like many others who posted comments, I love that I can carry my phone with me and get on with all my daily tasks, listening to the play.
Splendid
🇮🇪😂
I listen regularly, when away on holiday.
Your phone let's you download the episodes, when outside Europe and 1st world.
😜
Splendid
Defeated the object - instead of sending me off to sleep I was gripped and needed to stay awake to listen!! More like these please, perfect era & genre.
Arabella Cox I have no problem w that. The more it grips me, the better I fall asleep. Boring stuff keeps me up all night. Insomnia charting.
@@mckavitt13 how funny!
@@arabellacox True for some, yes. But there are others who are like me in needing to be interested in order to fall off to dreamful sleep.
Totally agree!
@@mckavitt13 oh yes I see what you mean. I have to be interested for sure. Can't stand period dramas, they make me feel nauseous! Often has to have a murder in it or espionage. Trouble now is I've listened to most of them and I'm not keen on repeats.
During this difficult times you are helping people like me to get though the day and I thank you.
Loving all these wonderful oldies.
Love these plays just wonderful.❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful, thank you. I'm listening to all these superb productions. I remember the plays from the late 1960's onwards. So wonderful to hear such articulate, expressive enunciation. Theatre trained actors from the old world. What has the BBC become?
Awful?
Politically compromised by the Tories and impoverished by the 'defund the BBC' mob.
Had me on the edge of my seat. Brilliant drama, brilliant acting. On a cold night this is wonderful to listen to.

Love Love Love these brilliant Dramas ❤
Loved it reminds me of sitting with my mum in the dark with a blazing coal fire happier time thank you so very much
You can't beat memories xx
Great old fashioned play, enjoyable 😊
They have safe lots people like myself in this lockdowns ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Funny. Not big on crime movies but I love listening to them from the BBC!
Truly brilliant and why did we change the sound of our siren's, I'm 55 and things were better yrs ago but every generation says that, great story and thank you Chesterton
Have just recently discovered these plays. Who needs TV when you can use you imagination.
I listen on the long train home daily. Journey goes very quickly. Love these!
Most excellent!
Does anyone do radio plays anymore? They seem to be a lost art
Actually, I do, but farce and comedy. We are all amateurs in a Society. We record them, and they are played on local radio. We never know how many people listen but have enormous fun. I had to laugh when boxes of oranges were stolen in this play and no one would cough like the girl , nowadays, it would be NO COMMENT all the way.
Great listening! So much better than the rubbish churned out today. Thank you so much and more please! ♥📻 ❤
Another wonderful evening listening to this.. thank you!
Very enjoyable! Well worth a listen.
Really loved it. It was gripping and well acted.

Thank you for sharing
Great play , thanks for uploading 👍
This is brilliant, why are plays like this not still on the Radio off an evening? I’d listen!
I think the Beeb is to re-run some of the old plays (heard a trailer promoting it on Radio 4) I think during Covid, they may be running short of material!
They don't tick all the ' correct '
boxes . Perhaps the Diversity Coordinator wasn't happy with them.?
@@2msvalkyrie529 No, they fell out of fashion during the John Birt cost efficiency era.
BBC now waste money paying so called celebrities rather than producing quality programs.
Back in my day-the 70's....they were 'OF' an Evening !....not OFF.
Thank you. 📻
Brilliant. Thankyou
Thank you! 🙏🏻✨
Thanks

Truly enjoy these Radio Dramas and almost everything the BBC does. Gracias from the DR!
Great story
I was hoping to listen to something boring and slip into a nice cost sleep. This dam thing, made me finish my last few ciggerates. Interesting naration
Wonderful, thank you. I love listening to the old sayongs my parents used. I also thought that drugs in a cemetery was a new thing....I was shocked when hearing about it last year in our town...how wrong I was...
A a fantastic plane
thank you
Brilliant 😊
Fantastic x
Very reminiscent of "The blue Lamp " film where PC Dixon is shot outside a , cinema
The Blue Lamp 1950. 50’s Heart throb Dirk Bogarde (Tommy Riley) no relation, shoots Jack Warner ( PC George Dixon) during a robbery which goes wrong.
@@thomasreilly6362 Thank You for the reminder of the actors names, good with faces but names like phone numbers escape me for some reason...!
EXCELLENT
Most curious... lots of unanswered question 🤔
thank you , good story
Thanks for this. Interesting to see the difference 50 years makes. Everything changes, everything stays the same. Not a great script with some creaky dialogue but, it has has it's moments. Excellent extended scene between two women just before the mid point where they act the pants off the men.
(Pinky Price? Chopper Martin? Were people really called these names?!)
Roger Sharp When I was at work in the 1970s going around different offices loads of people had these nicknames and I met many called Chalky White and others had names from their army or navy days. It’s all different now.
@@clivefuller-hale5073 Funnily enough, on reflection my oldest friend used to be known as Chopper Harris for his technique of tackling on the football pitch, and and it's not so long since Razor Ruddock and Julian the Terminator Dicks were playing. Interesting what you were saying about these coming from their service days.
Interesting commentary on how the belief in evolution can affect our actions.
That was absolutely Super Uncle Chesterton !......and quite an abrupt denouement......But-Thank You anyway. ....and I do so hope that both You and Auntie Elvira enjoyed your stop-over with me and Lottie this weekend....OK ! - OK ! - I do know that the stone-skipping festival was a bit of a dead loss due to the lake being dried-up but -these things are sent to test us aren't they ?... Ne-er mind though---at least my Lotties Date and Cheese Vindaloo's are the Best....aren't they...? Will be in-touch Uncle 'Chessie'. Catch you later.
Manchester, consistent if nothing else.
???
Spectrescup a shithole.
I think the real Brockhouse is still at large!
I saw the American sheriff car 🚨 yesterday 😂at my shop he's tall dark hair😂
Nice
Ya can't adopt grandchildren in the UK it's called a guardianship parental consent
Hmmm... I didn't understand why the policeman was shot.🤔🤷♀️
Did they say it? If so, at which minute? Many thanks. 🕵♀️
No, I think it was pure evil
Part of the late 60's/early 70's yob/skinhead etc violent crime scare.
This is ridiculous, there is no truth to what us being said, why is all this garbage being put out by those wishing to be antagonising? And why is it always Americans who do it?
Gun powder residue just means handling
didn't get the story. why murder the policeman ? what was the motive ?
The killer was a psychopath, had no motive
The guy was driving a stolen car. Car was stolen and was to be picked up by one of Griffon's guys, but the shooter had the balls to steal it from Griffon.
3:20
👋😃👍
Sam bailey 😅
Couldn't keep my attention from wandering. Why did he shoot the constable at the beginning? Why did they kill him at the end? Ah well. Win many--lose some.
Ahhhh you spilled the beans 😧
Richard W, thanks for that 🙄
Didn’t spoil it for me
I agree
As I've read many a time: Don't read the comments before you watch the show because a lot of people comment on the outcome. Poor babies having their life spoiled.
Exported😅
Ahh, the bad old days. Police corruption and stinking attitudes.
Albinos have red eyes ya don't see them these days
Quite clever. Far too long winded though. Thanks for the story nevertheless. Gave up 3/4 of the way through.
These old BBC dramas are simply the best. Thanks for sharing. 🫵👊👍.
