- Justice Carstairs, a High Court Judge is completely incompetent and a chronic worrier to boot. He takes the unprecedented step of trying to overrule his own judgement and encounters resistance on all sides. Matters get really complicated when, in trying to prove the man's innocence, he becomes convinced of his guilt

Thank you for uploading this brilliant play 👍.
Fanbloodytastic. One of the best plays I have listened to.
Agreed absolutely!
Thanks. Extraordinary!
Wonderful. I enjoyed many chuckles.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Superb play. Loved it. There are very few dramas nowadays that are even close to these wonderful adaptations. - why?
Because those playwrights have died and the BBC is trying to attract a younger audience as we oldies, who were the original target audience for such radio plays, die off. Few young people listen to the radio these days yet during the war, we utterly relied on it!
Twists and turns right to the end! I wonder if judges and QCs still behave like this?
Wonderfully done
Brilliantly acted and loved the judge a great play
Brilliant
Excellent ! Thank you forup loading it
Brilliant!
I chuckled at all the humorous quips woven into this story! It was superb!
Yes, what can I say? All ‘slam dunks’ for me tonight. From ‘The Frachise Affair’ to this superb gem. I’ve been spoiled tonight.
By the end of this play you wouldn’t think of him as a judge, by his state of mind. Mrs. Burford was quite the specimen and her character turned into a hoot!
I’m glad I chose to listen! Top Notch! BRAVO!
Entertaining.
Extraordinary acting
What an extraordinary case never come across this before most tackerling case excellently played by all the players of this drama.✔⭐🌟
The most brilliant one !!!!!!
