    That was bloody good 👍🏾 WOW 😂 I put this on as a bedtime story 😂 hoping I’d drift off to lala land 😂😂😂😂 I’ve been up every second of the way how can anyone fall to sleep with these great stories

      That's what I thought I'd do. Listen to this story and fall asleep soon after. But after reading your comment, this radio drama may be too good to fall asleep to so easily! We'll see. Thanks for your comment. We both clearly use these great old shows for comfort and restful sleep at night. It's been a practice of mine for years! TH-cam has so many choices to drift off to.

    A very ‘ meaty ‘ play that kept up the suspense until the end. So well performed and clear diction makes this play a gold star winner. Can not thank you enough for the privilege of hearing these gems. Brenda

    Thanks Arch for all your uploads.. Do readers of this realise that picture you used here is from the Harry Roberts killing of three policemen in west London in 1966? Worth looking up if you unaware.

      I was about to mention this then I saw your post yes it’s braybrook st East Acton I often used to stop at PC Geoff Fox’s grave in Mortlake cemetery to pay some respect whilst the Mrs attended her nans grave 👍🏻

      @philroysmith 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@lomate1963 Hi Lomate, thanks for that. Being a Sarf London boy I could not immediately recall the road but now I remember it was Braybrook Road. Good for you for wandering over to see PC Fox's grave. 👍🏻 I've been living in Asia these past 25 years and still miss London and the UK, which is why I'm also an Arch fan. Good luck to you and keep well.

    POSSIBLE SLIGHT SPOILER AHEAD: I'll try to word this w/o giving anything away but I'm frustrated bc I stayed w/this until the end hoping that I was wrong & that my time would be rewarded but alas no. It could've been so much better with just a little reworking instead of being so dreadfully obvious. No reflection on you OF COURSE Arch! Ty just the same as always!

    Excellent up until the last 10 minutes. Then the writer produces a very unlikely
    rabbit out of a hat as the solution .Very disappointing. There was no way the listener
    could have solved the mystery from the clues given.

  • @AuntieSara459
    @AuntieSara459 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Better suited for half an hour as points were clearly made, then endlessly and boringly repeated. Suspense, no - Tedious, absolutely.
