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 dramatizations. For most of its history, programs ran for 90 minutes and were largely entertainment-centered, such as thrillers, comedies and mysteries.

These are gifts from another time, nothing comparable today, note the date 1961 - it was a differnt breed then - real training, real acting, real drama, real writing.
Anita : Drama students at RADA were recently allowed to use throat mics when performing .
Some of them found it too difficult
to project their voices. !!
Why acting standards are going down !! Unbelievable ...?!
@@2msvalkyrie529 Oh my dear person - acting standards!??? EVERYTHING just about EVERYTHING completely going down and being degraded - there has to be a turnaround - PRAY.
In my youth as a young copper, I had Donald Sinden living in my beat and we became quite friendly , I used to pop to house for a cup of tea. He was an old school actor laddy and it was his proud boast that he could project his voice to the back seats of any theatre in London, and he could, he had a marvellous baritone voice
Wonderful to use my own imagination again: What each character looks like, what the surroundings look like, what each action is, imagined and stated.
Totally and utterly the best brain exercises to be had.
Delightful play - thank you.
This is one of the higher quality Chesterton Radio plays, wonderfully acted and with great character development. I felt that I could relate to both Phillip and Mr. Penlove. It's certainly plausible that they fell prey to Lilly's seductive wiles. She was crafty but Mr. Penlove was able to put one up on her. I like to listen to these plays while I'm doing household chores. It beats television because I don't have to watch it and I can be productive and entertained at the same time. Bravo!
Can’t agree with you more. It helps me not just with my language it also build my imagination. I don’t miss telly at all!
Thoroughly enjoyed it - Every dialogue! Thanks ever so much
One of my favourite plays, great story, great acting, great interactions of life, and great cunning.
Excellent! There isn't anything quite like a good radio play with superb actors. A very special skill. Thank for letting my imagination run wild. I love this medium! 👌❤️
Excellent, more like this please.
Excellent drama...well worth the 90 minutes...
Excellent play. There is no fool like an old fool.
Excellent drama, performed to perfection!
Stephen Murray & Monica Grey...excellent radio actors of their time. Many thanks.
Wonderfully written story, great acting and production, thanks a lot from the Cape in South Africa 🤩
Very fine acting throughout - these were the days of classically trained actors who relied largely on the BBC for their careers.
Derek Blomfield (Philip Barron) lived only another three years after this recording. He died aged 43 from a heart attack while on holiday with his family in Brittany, France.
I recognised actress Irene Sutcliffe (Jean Barron). She died recently at 94 after a career lasting 63 years, acting until she was 90.
Irene Sutcliffe (12 July 1924 - 3 May 2019) was an English actress. She was best known for playing Maggie Clegg in ITV's Coronation Street, a role she played from 1968 until 1975. She had a long career; her first credited TV role was in 1953 on BBC's Sunday Night Theatre and her last in 2015.
Appreciate the information on the actors in this play my good woman! Thank you! 👍
@@84CORVETTEBILL My pleasure - glad it was useful! 👍 It always adds a dimension, I think, especially when you can identify them from other work they've done.

Wonderful story…. great acting and production …… Many thanks from the Cape in South Africa 🤩💚🌺
One of the best yet! I really enjoyed this.
Thanks for the upload. Great story very well acted. In an age when t.v. and the internet are the norm it’s easy to overlook these radio plays from the past but they have their own strengths and I’m really enjoying them.
The t.v. is not the norm for me anymore & I got rid of my licence (UK). Such great things to find on the drama & audio book channels. Chesterton is one of the best.
So good to hear Jack Hobbs name - I played cricket with him when very small and he bat for six into the next garden
Lawyers like Penlove are hard to come by! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent play.
I could sense right away that Miss Lilly had devious plans involving that nice lawyer. Great story; I enjoyed it very much.
This was the second programme that I listened to tonight that I really liked! Thank you for posting it.
Another excellent play! Thank you so much
WOW! What a great story! Penlove was a wonderful character.
Love the story....can listen to one after another........
Stunning play, stellar performances! Thank you.
Really enjoying this and love your uploads Mr Chesterton ❤️🤜🙏 thanks
Sound fine through my ear phones. Enjoyed thank you.
Very enjoyable! Thanks for sharing 👍
in the Seattle area, we had radio plays on Jim French's Imagination Theater being made up through the early 2000s
The Harry Nile detective series was his best; his Sherlock Holmes was good; the Strange-Seeker series was more eerie
We attended one recording at Greenlake Bathhouse Theater
Well moving right along ;
1. Leave it to the hangman
2. Murder in Melbourne
3. this play Intervener
I'll be back later, well I'm back, yes I have already listened to this one and with the rotten character that's in it. After you listen to this play you'll know exactly what and whom I'm speaking of.
Well anyway Mr Chesters in I like to thank you once again and let's see ifI can find I can find a play that I have not heard yet. As of the last 6 months that is a task that has been very difficult for me,
to do anymore. ( find a play that I have not listened to !!!!! )
Well I'm going to try,,,,,,,,,
and everyone out there have a good day......................
and take care.............
You take care too & I hope you found more plays you hadn't heard before.
Excellent story and fine acting.
It’s so enjoyable to hear these radio productions from a bygone era. And enjoy the bevy of excellent classically trained actors.
Thank you.
Thank you
Very Very Good!!!! Take a Listen!❤
Excellent play. Good acting. The vile woman Lily
She,s not vile, desperate....
This story is a perfect example of female spite. Nasty but a well done play!👏👍
Understandable though!
MY only wish is you put a synopsis of what each play is about please. Thank you 💚
I do as well. It can be quite hard tho…. Even when one scours the internet. Sadly, many of these fine radio plays just didn’t have a summary added, when made.
Brilliant,Thankyou.
Vile woman. Glad she got her got what she deserved
Thank you! Gosh i love all these plays. Its like stepping back in time.
Very absorbing. A lawyer with morals.
WISHING YOU WELL With So much stuff being available to watch and hear on the Internet nowdays . NOW AND THEN Its good to get some quality radio drama TO LISTEN TO. Sort the wheat from the chaff sort of .With so many channels to choose from . READING THE Comments from other people on other channels takes up far to much time as the comments seem to last for up to 13mins reading time in some cases LEAVES LITTLE TIME FOR WATCHING LISTENING TO MY FAVOURITE CHANNELS WHICH SPECIALISE IN RADIO DRAMA
Reading a the comments takes up to much time.so.ile cut down o that
.I LOVE A GREAT STOREY
WHEN I I COME HOME COLD AND TIRED ITS GOOD TO WARM MY BONES BY THE FIRE AND LISTEN TO THESE DRAMAS .This sort of reminds me of a early Hollywood films with George Raft and a female fatale on tow.

Excellent ! This would have made a terrific film It still could. ! Or maybe the premise has already been borrowed. ?
Slightly disappointed that the Femme Fatale didn't get her
just desserts. My alternative ending would have seen Mr
Penlove commit the perfect murder...? 🤔
The author of this play understands something profound about un-Godly women.
I’d rather call it an understanding of human nature…… ☺️😜🙃
People like Lilly give women a bad name!
What a horrible person ...
Poor sound quality. Gave up afyer 10 minutes. Sounds like a gopd story though !
