Synopsis: On a runway in a Singapore airport Captain Cornelius Penn commands a flight bound for Sydney, Australia. After a number of delays due to possible engine trouble, torrential rain, and a traffic jam on the tarmac Penn finally begins his take off. As the jet accelerates it reaches "the point of no return"....
@@waynegeordiesdad648Wayne, is it? I'm REALLY grateful you've stepped up. These radio dramas are coming out so fast I can't keep up. Any you do (and you do them so well) makes that much less work for me. I can't express how grateful I am! Tottie
Many thanks for this. I'm more used to hearing Gabriel Wolf in more gentle roles, such as clergymen in dramas based on the novels of Anthony Trollope, etc. Whic his not to say that he was mist-cast, since, as a superb actor, he can play any part. Some other names I noticed from the past: Garrard Green and Lesie Heritage (wasn't he in "Mrs Dale's Diary"?). I'm not sure when this play went out - a good long time ago, I'm sure - Saturday Night Theatre was discontinued in 1996, but I suspect it was well before then - but this story seemed strangely prescient of the true life story of the Boeing 737 Max. I won't say more, for fear of spoilers, but I think you will know what I mean if you listen to the whole play.
K Leavy , Yes and it's always pilot error, never the aeroplane at fault. It means most aircraft manufacturers have PR-liars and will always put profit before aircraft safety.
An amazing almost real life story enacted by excellent people. Thank you for sharing🙏
Thank you Chesterton Radio 📻😀
Very much like a true story hope Boeing have heard it. Thank you for posting,

@@thresagraham8181 Aww, thank you Thresa. I have lots of help!
Thanks Totie. I hate to watch/listen to plays without reading a synopsis first.
Had to give up - the sound quality was deteriorating.
Many thanks for this.

Not a "sterile cockpit" (no chatting in high stess rimes like pre-takeoff).
Very enjoyable but sadly sounds parallel to the software problem Boeing had with with the 737 max. How creepy

I still have no idea what this all about
Why are the English actors so bad at American accents? My uncle was in this one but thank goodness he wasn't playing an American!😅
Much like Americans don’t do convincing English accents. Just go with it.
These dramas were made about 100 years ago 😂
Maybe they didn't hear many Americans then heehee
Because they're English 🤦🏻
There are so many British actors in the US who are taken for Americans.
The air traffic controller annoyed me so much that I stopped listening 😅

Good. But the writer thinks that 'roger' means yes. It doesn't- it means understood. The correct term he should have used throughout is 'affirmative'.
@28.30. I lived in Singapore and i never heard a Singaporean speak like that, Ridiculous caricature of ' cherlie chan ' .
