I wish Chesterton radio would tell us what the plays are all about befor the drama starts
Provide a synopsis you mean ? i agree it would be a very good idea but am pretty sure the uploader is not English so probably not interested.
What a brilliant piece of theatre
Well acted,felt very realistic
Thanks,!
Enjoying this, even as I am sensitive about so-so accents and similar voices. Good story and warm acting. Of course, Bob had to go and hide under the tarpaulin on the boat. Brave chap; this before mobile phones you know.
Fun radio program, thanks very much!
LOVED it! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for this drama.
Thank you!
Excellent, thanks you!
Synopsis: A man living in Italy receives a telegram that his sister has gotten married. This comes as a surprise, since she's never hinted at a romance. The man and his sister are very close, and they've never had secrets from each other. This worries him, so he flies to England to learn that none of her friends knows who the husband is or where she's gone. He embarks on a search that leads him into perilous territory.
Thanks very much.
You're very welcome, Heathe Kliffe. By the way, love the name! 😊
Thank you. Some more information from the Genome website:

Thank you for taking the time to do this! Much appreciated!
@@petrowiese1387 My pleasure!
Beautiful story
Very much of its time. The accents deplorable, but way back when they often were! (Still goes on today, eh Peaky Blinders? But forgiven! )
Love these radio plays, thanks so much. Kept me going through the Covid plague! ♥️ Thank you. Stay well, all.
Covid....what's that...?
Plague??? More a production of mass fear mongering.
@@suspendeddisbelief401 Yep. Mass formation psychosis.
Enjoyed it. Typical of old bbc plays. Thank you.
Ripping yarn, well worth a listen (cod accents apart). Thanks for uploading.
Ooh, loved the cod accents too...( was that a pun?) 😃
Ho! Well …but typical of all you English complainers……You lot have never changed. When a lived in Canada and mixed with a lot of Ozzy’s they used to call the
English. ( Whining Limeies ) Seems nothings changed
😊
Good story, and I used to work for Schlumberger research, to use AI for logging evaluation.
Wrong Scottish accent for Sheltland, they don't have Hebridean accents. Good play though.
A hundred years from now, people will wonder what oil rigs were.
20 years later, kids wonder what tape recorders and floppy disks are. 🤣🤣🙋♀️
On Tthe other hand when I was young in the 60s we thought in the 90s there'd be flying cars like on the Jetsons.
A 100 years from now people will not understand Writing only oral language
Another one of those old plays where so many of the characters had such similar voices that it was sometimes hard to follow what was going on.
Good ole BBC using British actors for foreign accents. It almost never comes out well.
Good for a larf though!!!
I disagree - the better actors usually carry off foreign accents very well but in this play they were appalling 🤣🤣
Nevermind the foreign accents the Shetland one is so far off the mark...
The dog had the worst accent
In those days RADA only taught Received Pronunciation with a little “ cor-luv-a-duck-and-thets-no-errar” Cockney, for the lower orders. Foreigners, ie those outside of where the M25 would be, were not catered for.
I thought she sounded Indian. Not Scottish.
My BFF is Scottish and she don't sound like this. I think they got better towards the end. Just very Irish and sing songish.
Very technical economically complicated story......
Oh No !! There a chap in this called 'Murdo '...!!!
Are the Shetlands inhabited by Indians and Welsh men? 😄
Definitely not a Shetland accent.
Most people won’t have a clue to accents! Lol
Well, the story sounds compelling, but Wexford is repugnant with his constant "deah boy"s, hip hip cheerio. Unable to continue.
I enjoy these old plays but their flaws are many: everyone is so bad tempered - a poor director’s way of compensating for the acting; women are either harpies or idiots and always desperate to be married; the dialogue is ridiculously explanatory - “I must go and see my brother, your husband” - and there are lengthy speeches explaining what the plot is all about; and the young woman who supports the outsider is almost always called Jenny!
must listen to one of your flawless efforts one day, please advise where I can find your plays somewhere, many thanks.
@@stewartlancaster6155 yes it’s a ripoff of The Deep Water Man isn’t it
@@stewartlancaster6155 which one would you like to listen to first?
