Synopsis: An author has finished writing a book about his experiences in WWII....all but the last chapter. He has contracted with the publisher to produce the final chapter by an agreed upon date. When that time comes, the author asks for extensions making excuse after excuse. The publisher sends an employee to determine what's going on. What that employee finds raises much more serious questions.
This was great. Thank you for uploading it. Gordon Loftus was played by a young James Bolam ("Terry" in "The Likely Lads"). Tony Naylor Smith was played by the unmistakable Maurice Denham Laurie was played by Anna Cropper (or Copper?); not a name I knew, but she was very good. I didn't catch the name of the actor playing Randy, but I know his voice well, and he's been in loads of films and TV. I thought the sweary editor/ publisher sounded like Brian Cox, but I don't think that was the name in the credits, but I didn't catch what it was. Edit: He was called Datson, played by Alan Barry. Rest of cast: Randolph (Randy) Aplin: Alan Cutherbertson Policeman: Geoffrey .Collins Inspector Viggers: Peter Tuddenham Jessica Rayburn: Katherine Helm Ben Bannister: John Pullin Leslie: Nigel Anthony
Two main voice styles for mid century Brit actresses. One is used by this actress, the other is an older lady style with the deeper, slower voice. They all sound like the same 2 people.
These times we live are so naff that we have to 'warn' people that a non-existing dog will die but not really. Valeria- (sorry if that's wrong)- that is in no way a dig at u as it was sweet of u to think of strangers feelings which is really commendable actually.
The quality that the BBC was churning out during those decades was stunningly good. This is yet another of them. Cheers for uploading them 👍
Second time I've listened to this excellent play. Terrific actors, wonderful diction and expression.
21 January 2024 - Listening from Kentucky on a 3F degree morning. Coffee, birds at the feeder, old time radio.
Wonderful. You set the scene perfectly for enjoying BBC Drama. In Ireland we had the RTE players weekly drama. Brilliant
It was also superb rep training for actors which sadly is not available to us today
Wow fabulous , ❤from uk

Great drama loved it. The closing music reminded me of the intro music for 'Baker Street' by Gerry Rafferty (1978)

Maurice Denham was an excellent
Maigret in the BBC radio version .
(episodes available elsewhere on UA-cam I believe ?)
Very good
Alan Cuthbertson had a great voice for radio. Always entertaining in movies and radio.
Good plot
❤
Someone turned the bass up to 11, my table was rattling!
😂
Well - I guessed whodunnit straight away, nonetheless, it was well written and performed by an excellent cast. Alan Cuthbertson was always good value!
Like you I figured how it would end, but how the author reached the end was interesting. October 2024.

James Bolam narrates a good story.
Very poor sound quality
Yes, far too much bass and muffled. Thought it was my tablet at first.
Whatever happens, you can always blame it on the Nazis.
Back then it was the natural thing to do.

Trigger warning: a dog dies😢
