It's astonishing that out of the 180 countries in the world, and it's the BBC that seem to be the only broadcaster that was able to produce plays of this quality and technical excellence. We're so fortunate that so many have survived and are available on TH-cam.
It is even more astonishing that you are able to listen to radio in many hundreds of languages I order to make this judgment Chapeaau M. Sharp
Amen to that. So, so enjoyable.
As much as i love BBC radio dramas, we have an abundance of them in our Polish radio stations, equal quality and “feel”. Probably they used to copy the old British standrads, but passed this woth flying colours. Good to have two language options! 🙂
@@darialaskowska Which Polish stations/ channels would you recommend to another bilingual living abroad.
@@joasia7777 Kratery and Licho co Nigdy Nie Spi. These are in Polish. Both run by radio crew and they are fanatical about bringing all old & contemporary. Massive choice of plays. There is one with an English name Culture Is Not a Crime but still with Polish radio plays and audiobooks, and Sluchowiska Teatru PR. Hope you will try them and find some bliss! Like I do 🙂
There are many more than BBC in English. Old American ones or Canadian. The whole drama abyss to dive in!! 🎭
I'm new to this due to my latter day insomnia. Grateful thanks to the BBC for preserving these productions.
These beat television every time.
Hello from Tennessee in the USA I love these radio shows! ❤️
Hi from England.Glad you love our radio shows.I love your cbs shows hosted by E G Marshall xx
Hello Tennessee I am in NW Tennessee, and hello England I came here from Wales 🎉
What a different time when radio plays were still in vogue. Then Covid hit last year and we seem to have developed a new appreciation for the art form!
This is a splendid example of a “movie for the mind.” Thanks!
Covid.....Ha'Ha'Ha'Ha.
These are so enjoyable. The acting is what does it for me. Top quality acting.
Hi to everyone I'm listening from Northumberland UK 🇬🇧 😊 I'm addicted to these old radio dramas.
This was great. I've recently become addicted to these radio plays & audiobooks. Thumbs up from Ohio !!!!
Also try BBC Radio 4 for more recent output. They still do drama, but not as much due to the Tories making horrendous cuts in funding.
@@LondonEE16 no politician has a conscience
Way better then watchin television thats for sure 👍
I’ve been addicted to radii plays for years. From South Africa. This one is top of the range 👍. Thanks a million. Much appreciated ❤️
And another thumbs up from Wyoming! I love the old British radio plays.
First rate sound effects. It's actually hard to imagine it's just actors sitting round studio mikes.
These radio plays provide a massage for the mind
Another great story, much appreciated. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia (71 yrs)
Roses- my pen pal from 1990 is in Perth - we met through a quilting magazine ad for newby quilters - been friends ever since = both lost our husbands
@virginiaanderson8875 it's an amazing world on you tube, we are able to meet lovely people. I moved to Perth in 1991, and prior to that, my life was in Victoria. Say Hi to your pen pal. 🥰
A shame that Radio 4 Extra doesn't play this level of archive, their selection of decent plays has dwindled lamentably over the last few years.
These stories are so comforting, I like being able to get my mind off of today's issues and listen to a different time. Thank u for timé and effort.
Very enjoyable thankyou.... 🙂
Great audiobook many thanks from Normandie France.
Question, if your are from Normandy, why do you spell it Normandie? Just wondering.
My second listen. That’s how good this is. Greetings from U.K. to all of you.
Another excellent play. Tony Britton has a wonderful speaking voice.
Thank you.
Yes, that was indispensable for a professional actor at one time.
Unlike today .....where the BBC in pursuit of " inclusivity " forces us to endure incomprehensible regional accents !!
Love these great plays. Thank you from British Columbia, Canada.
Hello B C
I used to live in Beautiful B C …..Vancouver ,,,,and how I loved it, but have been back in England for years now…still have one friend in Richmond …..Best wishes to you from CHESHIRE .ENGLAND.
@@iap-ug3oy.....don't come back, save your good memories, you wouldn't recognise it now.
I was brought up with Radio before pictures , when one had to listen and use ones imagination to fill in the blanks , which gave each set of ears , an indivdualised story , though still basically the same , from the players lines off the script .
Listening to these , I can sense the senior - passed into spirit - relatives about me , listening .
I wouldn't be surprised were others of those generations present . ❤️👍🙂
Listening to "Unquiet Conciousness" , a steady stream of faces belonging to Unquiet Conciousness, from my life over the last 20 years , passed by seems some sort of contact was made with known Unquiet Conciousness , 🙂 , upsetting them a little , 😄😆😃
Thank you for uploading and sharing this play , it's one of very few that get listed on my channel .
Namaste 🙏❤️👍💐
I used to come home from school and while lighting the coal fire at age 9 I would listen to “Dick Barton special agent “ on the B B C It was great in those days and then in later years I never missed Saturday night theatre …I will never listen or watch T V these days ….out of principle..Best wishes to you.
Really what a play kept me.hooked
18 December 2023 - Great episode. Amazing acting. Listening from the beautiful Bluegrass state of Kentucky, USA.
Hey neighbor fr TN. Merry Christmas yall! ✝️🙏🏼🥰
I bumped into one British radio drama just last year when I was trying to find something from which to learn English. I devoutly wished I had known about these plays the first time I got a TH-cam account.
Keep them coming.
Love from Zimbabwe :)🇿🇼
❤️
bbc started these dramas in the 30s,weekly and afternoon so there are quite a good few to listen to, they bring back happy memories when I would listen to them with my Nana in the 60s
Greetings from France! W many thanks for the share. 🙋🏻♀️👏👏👏
Super play 💯 I’d love to hear many more like this 👍
Thank you so much, that was a simply wonderful production. Great story!.
I remember this from some years back.
As to be expected
Splendid
🇮🇪🎊🎶🎁🎈🌹💐
I listened to this months ago but couldn't resist coming back for more. It didn't disappoint, second time around.
A superb quality cast, a good plot and nicely paced. If you work out the suspect early on it doesn't spoil the story, as it isn't a simple whodunit, it's about character and motivation.
My favourite character was Jenny, a beacon of honesty and openness in a pool of deceit. The range of subtle emotion in her voice was fantastic, especially as Anna Michaels's usual work at the time was lightweight comedy.
Len and Lucy Culpin were both beautifully played - difficult parts to pull off, as both characters were emotionally overwrought throughout. Playing a dislikeable character always requires extra skill.
Thank you again for giving us access to these precious resources from a time when BBC money was no object when a good drama was concerned!
Greetings from Florida 🌴 Thank You ❤️
I can’t wait to get back to taking my Florida holidays. Effing covid. Love from A Resident of Sussex.
Sandy No ....I understand completely!! Plus with Your name “ Sandy” ....You belong on the beaches here 😄 Soon Soon Soon 👍 Keep looking up 🌈
I do, I do.😊
I’ve enjoyed Florida a few times myself and would love to be there right now. We’re heading into another cold spell. That and lockdown makes a very uninspiring combo but I’m sure it’s better than a lot of people have it right now!! 😊
@@emf49 it won’t be long.🥰
This was really good. Thank you very much for uploading it. Kept me guessing until the end, and the actors were great. Felt sorry for Jenny though.
So wonderful ! Thankyou from New Jersey, USA.
Loving the tone and delivery thank you

Thanks for this. I tend to think of Tony Britton as a star of light comedy on TV, but he was obviously much more and his Wikipedia entry proves this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Britton
Only died in 2019, aged 95.
Nigel Anthony and Manning Wilson were stalwarts of radio drama. I don't recognise the other names I'm afraid.
Tony Britton, always
great to hear his voice. A great production. Many thanks.
Greetings from Canada! 🇨🇦
And greetings to you Canada from England ....
Love these thanks so much from NYC
This was great! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this excellent thriller. I love Douglas Blackwell, he is such a fantastic voice. (Douglas is the mature man with "so young" secretaries).
Douglas Blackwell as doctor far right
Tony Britten has a lovely voice

10 out of 10 really enjoyed this 👏🏼👏🏼❤️🇬🇧
Very refreshing story.well written,and good acting and sound effects 👏 thank you.
Several listeners have commented on the excellent recordings--no distracting music or incidental audio noises. Thanks much to the actors, producers, technicians who contributed. Well done. Prefer these to desperate video stretching to bend credulity.
Greetings from Saigon. Really enjoy these programs. Thanks
Fabulous. Dear Tony Britton 💜
Excellent play , many thanks for taking the time to upload.
Well this is excellent
Good one, thank you.
Wonderful story with excellent acting all around.
Very good story. I really enjoyed listening to this! Thank you!
Well done!
Absolutely excellent 👌 thank you
Thank you.
The local publican is always a wealth of information.
Another one of those dramas featuring a murder - of a teenage girl and a wrongful conviction of a teenage boy - in a small town or village where certain people knew a heck of a lot more than they revealed to the Police at the time. A writer, played by Tony Britton, picking up the trail of now deceased fellow writer, seeks to complete the investigation with help from some and hindrance from others, including the Police. Originally broadcast on 16th October, 1971 - source Genome.
@@stewartmcardle8149 thanks for posting the description...lots of us benefit from knowing beforehand what's in store!
@@jacqui7672 ..... you're very welcome...
@@stewartmcardle8149 Thanks for discovering the date of 1st broadcast. From the dates mentioned in the play, it seems to have been set in 1961 (4 years after the murder which I think was said to be 1957), but I thought the style of the play sounded a bit more "modern" than 1961.
@@mikewellwood1412 ..... indeed so Mike but, I can't find any earlier reference in the Genome source than 1971.
Hooked on these dramas. They're such jolly good fun. 😊😊
A humdinger. Great story.
Extraordinarily well done. A Stunner.
Good thanks xx
Here again, good enough for repeat listening. Thank you as always & Merry Christmas yall! Pray for Peace in accordance with His will, in Jesus name. Amen ✝️🙏🏼❤️
Enjoy drama with my cuppa thank you very much
quite enjoyable. good pacing.
Enjoyed story and players. Listen to the old BBC radio plays here in France, many thanks😀🤗
❣️always an excellent listen!
I almost never listen twice. This was an exception. Really enjoyed it. Cebu Philippines.
Excellent 👌
Clear diction, well-delineated characters, all-too-believable picture of small-town loyalties obstructing honest investigation, interesting twist at the end. Thank you.
Excellent
Cheers ✌🏽

Good old fashioned play, which you dont hear these days on r4
From Florida, thanks
Remember Tony Briitten in the comedy sitcoms Robins nest on itv with tessa Wyatt richard osullivan
Listener from Alabama❤
Great story, based on Framingham in Suffolk. I went to school there and recognise all the references, the mere and castle. I can’t find much info on the author, I wonder if he was a local?
Jenny needs to move out of this town. 😂 This town is way too small for her. Needs to find her bigger better self. 🤣
Still my favorite character for her honesty.
Anyo ne know where the photo of the multi-coloured houses was taken ? Reminds me of so many coastal towns in the U.K.
RIP Tony Britton who died in December 2019.
A great loss.😢
I listen to radio lays and comedies
Really enjoyed Unquiet Conscience, kept me guessing, and still got it wrong🙊
Hi from England
Another great radio play. I enjoyed this, though I thought the author in the play got a little bit creepy with one of the young girls!! Does the BBC not do these any longer? All the plays we see on You Tube are rather old, so I guess they don't? It is a shame that there's a lot of background noise with most of the plays that I've listened to. I'm assuming there is a reason for that? Some of them I start listening to, and then I have to stop because the background noise hissing and bubbling is too intrusive and I can't hear what's being said properly.
💖
Agree…. but it wasn’t just in the past; the BBC still produce great radio drama.
"Who cares - he's like...groovy" 😆
Out of curiosity, is the photo of Aldeburgh? Looks familiar.
Yes. Crag Path.
@@jessamysilverman3058 ... Thought so. I've spent many pleasant days at the White Lion there.
It’s a good play. But why must detective stories have a surprising ending? Sometimes I feel a story that well researched and built up a criminal character would be very interesting.
Halfway I remembered hearing this before but I thought the ending is awful. "She has suffered enough.' No, she didn't!
Can tell anymore without spoiling
That was no, " innocent mistake"....
👋😃👍
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
28:00 (15 secs of conversation) ...a little dated😳 ...and yet, the comedic timing 😁
"Short skirts, the erotic appeal of youth..." Victim blaming never gets old.
Victim or not? Short skirts and the like? A man’s eye, and often I’ll intent can lead to bad outcomes…
Best,
Sgt. W. Kern Abottsford RCMP (retired).
environment ,left hints ..,🤔
' the erotic appeal of youth '
Hmmmm
Good story but too chopy.
This is not negative cement::: It's an observation we have created a radio EXISTENCE THAT WE CAN CALL ON AND MOVE INTO AT THE CLI CK OF A SWITCH NOTHING IS TOO REAL, NO ONE IS SEXY = KIND OF LIKE A MAGAZINE ONE SHOULD Have cancelled. The girl on the cover is tired, as is the author and now the reader. IT'S a RELENTLESS SUBSCRIPTION TO THE MEDIOCRE "turn IT UP A LITTLE, Harry"
