    This is the first radio drama I've listened to on TH-cam. I'll listen to more, especially at night when my eyes are tired. I'll listen to more.

      Yes! Remember as child - growing up during the 60's and 70's - was continuously following stories on different stations, with dolls and stuffed animals propped up around the radio...

      ditto; some of these British uploads contain accents too broad to comprehend, so this was nice audio quality for me, a mere American.

    I’ve been having a binge, there were a couple of disappointing ones, then I struck it lucky. The last one I declared to be the best I’ve heard, but this is an equal tie. Good acting, distinctive voices, a plot with an unexpected end. Even if you’ve guessed what happened, there will still be a surprise. It was a well written script, and I’m pleased to see another Peter Whalley in the suggestions, so I might chance my luck one last time before sleep. Thank you very much for the upload, much appreciated.

    Second time listening and still very much enjoyed.Peter Whaley is a master of radio drama.
    Some of the comments on here are obviously from people wha haven't listened or are not uses to quality radio plays.Not surprising knowing the quality of modern radio plays.

  • @theklaus7436
    @theklaus7436 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    I think the quality of these radio audio books are incredible good. It of course is important it’s a good book. But this is very good writer. If I can choose. The best place to find quality is British. From ladykillers to Agatha Christie or morse / endeavour. Us. Is often action. Not that others can’t. But I’m clearly a fan of British comedy and crime stories and your actors are very very good. Thank you. Something to be proud of. 🧬😊🎸
