I listen to as many radio plays that I can. Living in Australia, today’s radio has nothing of the style of the “old” BBC, and the superb Saturday Night Theatre. I thank Chesterton Radio, and those other kind people, who allow us to enjoy these radio gems, from a time when Radio gave employment to actors, technicians, and playwrights. Thank you very much . Eric Fry

@Cheepchipsable 3 года назад

Still plenty of radio plays being produced if you seek them out.

@chrisberry7712 3 года назад

I couldn’t agree more Eric. These wonderful plays, apart from the brilliant craftsmanship of the writers, producers etc., bring back so many happy memories of contented evenings, sitting by firelight with my Mum and Dad. Simple pleasures, but oh so satisfying. Mum and I would knit, and Dad would roast chestnuts.

Fabulous, good plot and cast very enjoyable. Self isolating recovering from covid and feeling really low, I can't tell you how much these wonderful dramas help, thank you so much for sharing

@jonsmum5552 3 года назад

It’s normal to feel a bit low after having covid. I haven’t had covid but I had flu a few years back, and I felt really low and weepy. Hope you feel better soon. ❤️

@TheBobbymcd 3 года назад

covid is just the flu , but what peole dont realize is that the real flu `(people mistake a cold for the flu) hits you like a ton of bricks and you cant get out of bed...sometimes you can be too weak to lift your head off the pillow) we were never told to self isolate with the flu or stop visiting our loved ones. The governments have an agenda and it has started with covid being a handy excuse to put it into practice.....look it up it's called 'THE GREAT RESET'. You have the flu, not covid.

@jonsmum5552 3 года назад

@@TheBobbymcd Agree! I’ve had flu twice, believe me you wouldn’t be able to lift the phone never mind visit anyone. This covid virus is overblown. Granted like flu some people succumb to it worse than others but that’s the same as flu.

@elainepayne7047 3 года назад

Margaret Newman - totally agree with you, I couldn’t get through the days and nights (self isolating - COVID etc., ) without these dramas.

John Mellenby sounds so much like Peter Coke of Paul Temple fame... great play and performances from all. 5 minutes later - ha -ha I scrolled down and sure enough - it IS Peter Coke! I always loved his voice - unmistakable and I can never forget the sound of it. A great radio actor!

@teagunn 3 года назад

Thoroughly enjoyable drama, great for listening too while relaxing

@robwilde855 3 года назад

Excellent. Thank you. First time I've listened to a radio play for many years. Yet we were brought up on plays like this; as an eleven-year old boy, in that pre-television era, I may even have listened to this one with my parents and sisters when it was first broadcast one evening in 1960. I'm feeling prompted now to change my habits somewhat and listen to more plays instead of watching so many films, because somehow the experience is more energizing. The opportunity has never arisen before to make the comparison, but I'm glad it did now. Perhaps something to do with a fuller use of the brain - one's visual imagination being much more active. Anyway, thanks for that too!

A young boy, at the beach with his mother, is rescued by a complete stranger, new to the Bath area. He's invited for dinner by the grateful mother where their generosity knows no bounds. But is he what he seems to be and what are the consequences ? Features Peter Coke (pronounced Cook - of Paul Temple fame) and Joan Matheson as John and Sally Mellanby and William Eedle as Frank Roscoe, the stranger. First broadcast on 19th November, 1960.

@bodleyfludes7958 3 года назад

Excellent tale. Even nowadays, for every pack of wicked wrongdoers there is an honourable, decent man.

I've been listening to these plays to just try and relax as you can use your imagination. But I especially enjoyed this one, and kept me guessing, very well written and well acted by all involved. Great work and thanks so much for loading.

@tomobrien3849 3 года назад

Very enjoyable. Thank you for uploading this. By the way, I came across the information that 'The Golden Deed' had also been dramatised on American tv, for the Moment of Fear' series, in July 1960. The adaptation this time was by Garve himself under his real name of Paul Winterton and it featured a young Robert Redford as The Stranger, presumably the Frank Roscoe character.

So enjoyed this production. Actors voices exactly fit the parts and bring it to life. Got waylaid several times thinking an affaire with the young help would be a major part of the plot. Many thanks for this service Brenda

@2msvalkyrie529 3 года назад

Excellent ,very effective thriller with Hitchcock style plot . In fact one can easily imagine it as one of his nerve shredding films. . Andrew Garve was the pseudonym of Paul Winterton who wrote a number of excellent crime stories in the 50s and 60s. Several turned into low budget films which received generally good reviews. Rather sad and bit of a mystery that he's almost forgotten.?

@grimtt 3 года назад

Just got thru listening and in fact this play was done on either AHP or The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, not sure which! I remember the camper van thing. Good one.

@2msvalkyrie529 3 года назад

Well spotted. AHH...1962 . ' House Guest ' .

Regarding COVID and all the low mood and exhaustion, is this just another form of ‘flu? How many have died of ‘flu this and last winter? Nevertheless, bless you for letting us have these dramas.

@Cheepchipsable 3 года назад

Sorry, but Ugghh! Don't want to spoil it, so many straight forward and simple ways to deal with the problem and the protagonist just overlooks them and makes it worse.

@lauralaladarling3775 11 дней назад

Excellent, tense, emotionally fraught and well acted. I knew it was set-up when the 'saviour' had an accident with the Caravan couple it was too convenient as was Roscoe's scam death. The 'gentleman' was the one most passable as genuine but I had serious doubts, too smooth. It really was a living nightmare for their victims; I'm pleased they braved it out to inform the police of the criminal gang. Good story. Thank you for uploading. ❤
