A Decent British Murder, written by Ken Whitmore and first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in February 1980, is a gripping murder mystery set in a stately British home. The story revolves around Colonel Grace, played by Graham Roberts, who sets up an intriguing challenge for his house guests-gain entry into his intruder-proof library and win £1,000. The library is fortified with a deafening alarm, heavy security locks, and a lethal guillotine device. The guests, who include a cast of characters experienced in breaking and entering, accept the challenge. Notable guests include Vanessa Grace (Kathleen Helmi), Marina Grace (Linda Gardner), Fred Gingrich (Christopher Godwin), Lionel Monro (David Calder), Ella Chatto (Annette Robertson), and Albert Congleton (John Hollis). The plot thickens as the guests maneuver and scheme, leading to unexpected twists and a mysterious murder that brings their true natures to light. Directed by Alfred Bradley, A Decent British Murder showcases Whitmore's signature storytelling, blending suspense with dark comedy, typical of his works and is set in 1980s Britain.
