*Daylight Robbery* is a gripping crime drama by R.D. Wingfield that tells the story of Miss Pickering, an elderly woman who places an advertisement in a newspaper seeking paying guests for her remote house. Monica Grey stars as the astute and cunning Miss Pickering, who has an ulterior motive behind her seemingly innocent offer. However, she is not alone in harboring secret intentions; the four gentlemen who respond to the ad each have hidden agendas of their own.
Colonel Fryatt, played by Norman Shelley, is one of the notable guests who respond, adding layers of intrigue and suspense to the storyline. Alongside Miss Pickering and Colonel Fryatt, the story features Dr. Brown (Jonathan Scott), Harris (Peter Woodthorpe), and Wakeson (Howard Goorney), each contributing to the enigmatic and suspenseful atmosphere.
The play, directed by John Cardy and first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 1977, is part of Wingfield's esteemed collection of radio dramas, well-known for their sharp dialogue, complex characters, and surprising twists. With a runtime of 45 minutes, "Daylight Robbery" encapsulates Wingfield's prowess in weaving intricate and engaging mysteries.
Other notable cast members in supporting roles include Lewis Stringer as the Bank Manager, Daisy Bell as a Woman in the Telephone Kiosk, and Douglas Leach as the Constable, all of whom add to the rich tapestry of this thrilling story. - บันเทิง
