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.

Thank you for listening! - เพลง
I'm assuming all those making negative comments didn't grow up in times scarce entertainment. You've all been spoiled by cutting edge audio and everything a click away. They're are many of us who deploy appreciate these memories.
Auto correct ruined my spelling and I can't edit it, so trolls be quiet for once.
Thank you for this lovely nostalgic drama.
I didn't grow up with these, but I absolutely love them. I have listened to 100s of radio plays.
Enjoy these broadcasts so much,thank you.
Excellent story. Worth persevering for those who find it too old fashioned.
it's so amazing , I feel so entertained listening to these wonderful voices , absolutely remarkable channel , I can't deny that while I am listening to this , I don't feel like I am wasting my time .
Thank you for all your hard work.
Cheers for sharing!! 🙏🏻✨🥰
Brilliant, thanks so much

Thank you!
Thank you for doing this! ❤
The ‘ News ‘ at the end , so pleased it was left in !
Wonderful. I adored this story. At last Doctor Death was bought to justice by the haunting of Queenie, Mike and the villagers that loved her. Xxxx ❤
Thanks for spoiling the end
I really enjoyed this story. Thank you.
Thank you.
I only made it through about twenty minutes of this. Although I was interested in the story, the child's voice (yes, I realize it was played by an adult) was like having ice picks shoved in my ears.
Thanks!🇿🇦
Wonderful thanks
I loved the news report at the end.So often these just start and are cut off.About the play I am so glad that child actors are now used rather than those annoying high pitched women's voices.
Agreed.
Thank you for bringing these plays to us, your efforts are very much appreciated!
Slightly dodgy audio at the start, but it goes quickly, and the drama is super.
Thank u very much. I thoroughly enjoy them
Listen till the end - Love the news bulletin! I miss that type of neutral reporting, Compared to the partisan BBC newreaders of today.
Excellent
It drove me round the bend.
Regrettably I listened to the very end to see if I could make head or tail of it but I couldn’t this play is so frustrating the best thing about it was right at the end when the man was talking about the light service as it used to be called years ago that book back lovely memories also enjoyed the news
Glad I was not the only one who lost the plot here 👍
Miss Finely was a ghost!
Still could not make head nor tail of this play 🤔. Will have another go tonight .
So good!!!
Quite a rollicking story! Some ins and outs in the recording.....but if you keep listening it all holds together. Several minutes of BBC news at the end of the recording - pre-Berlin wall destruction, Kenyan independence and some sporting news! Blast from a distant past.
I always love these bits of old news at the end of plays.
Great story thank you.
an unusual piece to say the least but very good I love everything you do this is a real kicker thank you
This is one that I listen again to ❤
Maeva !!, is that you 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Good listen though . Lol cheers
I like the story, but the little boy's voice is very annoying.
Kids- crying/ wailing. Women- stupid noise- some call music should be banned.
The audio is all messed up.
Unusual thriller with different angles. Loved it thanks
Didn't Queenie, a professional entertainer, know more than one song?
You really got the point is a whole play didn't you?
All the characters are insufferable except for Queenie. If it wasn't for the others' recollections of her (she steals every ' scene' - yes I know she's figurative), I would have switched off.
Of course the Doctor is a psychopathic bastard. But that ridiculous self-martyr Nicole & her passive-aggressive boyfriend Tim - that couple is dysfunctional & extremely tiresome. I only stayed for the Queenie 'appearances'.
Great story, but I fully agree 😆
Horrible people.
Not very good recoding. But l love these old radio plays. The attitudes are recognisably from a bygone era
Ah the great Denis Law scores four .
Queenie had such a beautiful voice!🥀🥀
Detention doesn't stop for murder!
Where is the short summary of the story?
Thank you for listening! Glad you like these plays. There is not a lot of information available about some of these shows. If you'd like to compile a cast list, synopsis or review as you listen we'd be glad to share them with the Chesterton Radio family! Thank you
It's waiting for YOU to find it and give it to others.....ever heard of give?....I know you have.
@@ChestertonRadio perfect response to a thankless listener that assumes on top of sifting through thousands of audio to select good stuff, editing & uploading you're going to write a synopsis for each & every post. And not even " thanks for posting- wondering if there's a summary? "( at least that would've been more polite) just " where's the summary"- I'm disappointed w people that ask these things because they're usually lacking in self awareness & won't ever gain any. Thank you for your time and effort w these uploads, much appreciated!!
Fancy that ! Marjorie (Louise "Steve" Temple) Westbury playing a common, foul mouthed Northern woman Queenie Holroyd in this 1963 Saturday Night Theatre production. Originally broadcast on Saturday 7th December, 1963.
A schoolboy misses an end of term school event, due to his discovery of a skeleton in the woods. She is clad only with a single shoe.
Also features Denys Hawthorne as schoolmaster and erstwhile suitor (of Mrs Sherratt) Tim Brennan, Austin Trevor as Dr. Heslop, Nicolette Bernard as Nicole Sherratt, Jo Manning Wilson (actress) as the boy Daniel Sherratt and the late, Glyn Dearman, (BBC Radio drama producer) as Mike Lord, who discovers "The Woman In The Woods".
Short summary : A waste of 1 hour and 38 minutes .
Poor sound quality and disjointed storytelling.
All of these weak, clingy, hysterical women were very annoying.
However, thank you for your hard work in uploading these plays.
A difficult and repetitive story
That clipped English style of speaking can get very tiresome after a while.
I never liked that women always played the part of little boys. The voices are so silly, and always sound the same. Otherwise a good little story.
