Excellent naration and acting, especially by David March as M. R. James. It is an entertaining story, first broadcast on BBC radio in 1977.

Great acting, especially by the concerned father! Thank you for another great broadcast!

Didn’t like this at all. You can certainly tell M R James didn’t write it. The melodramatic acting didn’t help.
