  • Saturday Night Theatre was a long-running radio drama strand on BBC Radio 4. The strand showcased feature-length, middle-brow single plays on Saturday evenings for more than 50 years, having been launched in April 1943. The plays featured in the strand included stage plays, book adaptations and original dramatisations. For most of its history, programmes ran for 90 minutes and were largely entertainment-centred, such as thrillers, comedies and mysteries.

      We had one, 517, which was unfortunately also the number for the taxi firm in the next village...

    Oh my, the woman playing the schoolgirl was very irritating. Real girls don't, and didn't talk that way, all breathless and speaking in capital letters.

      It's the radio version of children played by women. Always annoying.

      Ah yes, "Liz". Fortunately, dispatched to boarding school at the start of the play, and didn't appear again until the end! When she went off to school, loyal old Stripp said: "We'll miss her". Er, no Stripp, we didn't. :-)

    A not bad story not the best nor the worst. Found them a bit thick at times and the ending was a bit rushed. Enjoyed listening g to it whilst walking g the dog

      Well the actor playing Peter Wilson was the original Dick Barton, and he played it that way, well, Dick Barton meets Bulldog Drummond - act first, think afterwards.

      The story line was pretty weak but I was kept amused by all the bad accents.
