- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2020
- Philip Maitland Hubbard was a British writer. He was known principally for his crime and suspense novels and stories, although he wrote in other genres as well. For example, contributing short stories and poetry to The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and articles, verse, and parliamentary reports for Punch.
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.

How nice to be able to listen to well crafted plays and the Queen's English-both have completely disappeared from today's BBC Radio4
Sheer class story telling. The good old days of speaking clearly.
As a child I didn't have television, thank god, so grew up with the various radio plays on the BBC. Saturday Night Theatre was the dog's bollocks!
P
loved listening to these plays with my Nana in the 60's such wonderful memories when summers were hot and Christmas was always white,
Brilliant stuff! I invite you to visit my Fireplace stories as well. Thanks!
And there were just two genders and no one claimed to have nut allergies!😂
I absolutely love a BBC radio play ❤, especially ones set during or pre ww2.
Never missed one throughout the 1950's and into the 1960's,you couldn't beat the old wireless in those day's, anyway we didn't have a Telly lol.
You just reminded me - we used to have a family photo of my parents and two daughters all gathered around the radio/record player - it was my father's pride and joy - it was a German brand - it could pick up most European cities (great big valves inside with which he was constantly playing) and the record player had tiny mirrors on the inside rear wall. The turntable played 45s, 33s and....78s!! It was a gorgeous piece of furniture.
Myself, I’m over watching movies & series. They’re all so same same. I love old time radio.
Nothing to beat the old plays! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Let me add my appreciation for the well-spoken English. Ever since East Enders aired on TV I miss at least a third of what is said in British productions. You need subtitles to understand the dialogue. How lovely to have these earlier plays.
sod off yank, it is our language and we shall use it how we like, regional accents are one of the joys of being English.
Agreed, as American where most ambitious youngsters get rid of any accent by 20, I have been curious about why the British insist on unintelligible accents. I understand those from all parts with English as a 2nd language better than the native British who refuse to speak properly.
@@ld3418 "Her English is too good, he said, that clearly indicates that she is foreign. Where others are instructed in their native language English people aren. And though she may have had an expert dialectician and grammarian, I....can....tell....that....she....was....born....Hungarian!" (Henry Higgins, My Fair Lady) Exactly!
@@ld3418 Lol. Your American accent is often unintelligible to us. English spoken in England is actually far more homogenised now, in the not too distant past dialects in England were far more common, today we simply have regional accents & no accent is better than another.
A non RP accent being introduced pre-dates East Enders by several decades when the BBC used the Yorkshire born Wilfred Pickles as an announcer during WW2.
I found Chesterton Radio over a year ago. Im forever thankful. Ive never heard anything like this before. WIth that Im truly grateful. I even played this You Tube channel for some of my older nurses when I had covid. They all loved this channel. And thank you thank you thank you for adding search button so I can look for my favorites lol

Terrific this. I think it may have been Hubbard's only radio drama. Some of his favourite tropes (inshore sailing, men driven by their instincts, women who don't seem to do a lot but are actually hard as iron).
Anyone who liked this should check out his books!
It was a disgraceful decision by the BBC to get rid of Saturday Night Theatre - but as usual the BBC completely ignore listeners' wishes.
Agree!🤔
Just so sad especially in these times when those of us who prefer radio plays to what is being turned out on tv!
Yes a real shame, so much middle management at the BBC and ludicrous Director bonuses. If these weren't being uploaded to RUclips I feel they would be lost and forgotten.
Robin Parker totally agree, I haven’t paid for a tv licence for 4 years,,I donate all the fee to animal charities,👏👏🇬🇧
Rubbish. These decisions are taken on the basis of the number of listeners.
Many thanks to Chesterton Radio for this fascinating upload. I wish we could have more of these nowadays on mainstream media... We miss these radio plays. I say, English phonetics evolved radically over the past decades. These vintage BBC plays portray the more elegant enunciation and elocution of the past generations.
Completely concur.
Yes, we'll spoken English is a delight to listen to. Will it ever return?
You don’t know how happy you have made me to find your channel. Thank you for all your hard work.

Just love their voices, I can hear every word! ♥️
Thank you for upload. To all the whingers who want a synopsis / brief description / cast list etc etc etc - imagine it is 1966 and that you failed to purchase your weekly copy of the Radio Times - this means you would only have two choices 1) listen to the play with absolutely no prior information or 2) don't listen to the play.
@Anaderol, right on!
@theKoshmeister Spoken like a true entitled individual of today whose life is lived like a bad actor of a soap opera ...... Newsflash - it's ok (really it is) to take a leap of faith with something as trivial (in the big scheme of things) as to the nature of a relatively short radio play whose sole purpose is to entertain. Save your angst for more important issues dear Koshmeister - no doubt in your mind you ARE skilled or prominent in a field or other. Hope I've not disappointed your expectation for obnoxious responses.....albeit your initial response fully fitted your own description.
Absolutely agree, I like to be surprised.
I really enjoy listening to these recordings of Saturday Radio plays growing up in 1940/50’s we didn’t have any TV and it was marvellous to listen to them in bed as a young boy my father had wired our house during WWII with earphones in every bedroom connected to wireless in the living room..I can now listen 24/7 on my iPad wherever in the world I am at the moment in the French Alps during Covid quarantine but usually in our home in Panama..Keep posting these marvellous plays thank you.
Better than most modern day movies. Most are not B movie but c amateur movies
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Bryce Joshua instablaster :)
Good story. Thanks so much for all the wonderful old stuff you're treating us to. In this one it was a special pleasure to hear my favourite radio actress of those days, Cecile Chevreau.
Such a great cast they were so wonderful listening to these old programs is magic thanks so much I live in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Excellent atmosphere. Listening over and over again.
Satahhday Night Theahtah. I’m hooked.
I say! That was frightfully good. 🤗
Thanks for these lovely plays, I love listening to them. Thank you also for your time doing this, much appreciated 🙂🌈
Great Find....Great Play and Production.
Most enjoyable. The sound effects were very good for the time reminded me of of many sailing trips made with friends during 1960's to the 1990's. Thank you for puyying it up.
Great story.. Keep them coming !
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the upload!! 🙏🏻✨🤗
Dead Man’s Bay is an original play written by Hubbard for the BBC about Peter Robinson, an ordinary fellow who falls in with Joe Benson, a bad sort, who convinces Peter, against the wishes of his wife Letty, that his beloved sail boat and knowledge of local waters means he could pick up some much needed money with a little side of smuggling.
Thanks I like a little idea what it’s about 👌👌
@@eleanormurty9270 Me too! 😉
Once again thanks Tottie,been too wrapped up in the AZ audits,hope you are keeping well
@@janegriffiths7733 Are you in AZ too?! I'm in Tempe. 😎
@@tottiemae2258 hi Tottie lovely to hear from you again, no I am on The Wirral England but I remember you telling me that you were in AZ, I have been following USA politics since the election and haven't really been listening to plays ,happy to hear from you 🇬🇧🇺🇲🙏
Excellent play, I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you
A happy accident finding your channel. Thank you, I am enjoying immensely 😀😀
Same here !! 👍 😃
Same here.
Very good play indeed.
Just found OTR it's terrific,more please...
Much appreciated the nyooows bulletin from apparently 1970.
Thankyou so very much
thank you
This was very good. Thank you for uploading it.
Lots of chat further down as to why radio drama folded. well it was money, writers fees and the actors union. I was 13 when i started in this the bbc drama department and stayed until the air force said "come here" I was a time of great changes the onslaught of t.v. and the collapse of these radio grinders. I was 13 at the start of my radio adventure which at 83 now still goes on, Am a 107.3 in palm springs seven days a week - radio has been a real pal - good wishes to all
-Don
Thank you. 📻
Really great vintage play - so enjoyable, but found myself hating Peter much more than his raffish brother!
That was one of my mums favourite sayings And the Best of British Luck, thank-you x
Lucky me ,,thank you
Synopsis, quoted:
"Dead Man’s Bay is an original play written by Hubbard for the BBC about Peter Robinson, an ordinary fellow who falls in with Joe Benson, a bad sort, who convinces Peter, against the wishes of his wife Letty, that his beloved sail boat and knowledge of local waters means he could pick up some much needed money with a little side of smuggling."
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
the swearing is funny 😂 good story though , thank you
thx
This was awful!!!!
Awfully good!! Really enjoyed this and like every damn good thing the bbc or other type of company they'll have a great product etc and then put it to the sword. I'm assuming there must have been problems with the programme or product or the beeb wudnt have killed a winning formula for no reason but that's in the past!!! I've digressed long enough but a shame they don't do this type of show at the wkend instead of some obscure afternoon slot!!! Thanx for uploading these treasures for us all to peruse!!
great
Hey ! ....Uncle Chesterton....any Chance of " The Island Of Sheep' by John Buchan....?
Is there a play? I read the story years ago and would love to hear it. I love all John Buchan.
So many cut glass accents i nearly cut myself listening to it.
Anything produced by Martin C Webster is worth a listen.
Interesting...
Why not add a short plot after the title
Well we all know what we must do? At 80 and now learn l have to pay the licence fee again! Shall l cancel my subscription to the once great BBC? Will l then be allowed to access these old broadcasts without being prosecuted?
Yes, you and peeps all over the world. Whether expats or those who enjoy a good play. Also A LOT learning English!
@@daftirishmarej1827 I doubt that. You have to be either a native English speaker or someone who’s lived in an English-speaking country for at least one generation.
@@mckavitt13 It's true - I'm an English teacher in Italy and I recommend these to my students so they can listen to more English - different accents etc., and they do 😃😉
@@daftirishmarej1827 Perhaps, but I wonder how much they really understand. 😊🎓✒👓💼
@@mckavitt13 it depends how much they want to learn, and how well they want to learn it 😁😁😁😁
It plays OK on my tablet (Android) but on the Roku stick TV the sound comes on and off ....like a broken mic. This only happens on ALL the Chesterton Radio videos, Other audio plays work fine ......any solutions ?
Use radioechoes
all these quality radio drama's from the permanently maligned bbc.
great at things like this are the beeb
Can’t really compare the BBC of 1960 with today’s
Weird ending !
Drug smuggling , such a lucrative business , if caught a few years in prison and several hundred thousand pounds salted away.
Thats the mindset , the reality is different , the mole takes the risks and the bosses take the cake .
Please say he's not related to L Ron Hubbard. 🤦♀️
43:39...." He was here for a 'Bit' - this Afternoon' " ..... -A Bit of WHAT...? Ha'.
A bit of time
MrBazzabee .
It was a common expression, at the time - and before.
It simply mean't. "a little while".
I suppose these days, people only notice a double meaning, and smirk.
@@johnbunyan5834 it's still a normal expression. "I popped in to mum and dad's for a bit". Not for Beebeecee original accent, but for everyday life. Double entendre has killed innocent language of years ago. 'Gay' used to mean 'very happy'. Please don't think I'm homophobic - we're talking about how language has changed, not reactions to sexuality. I have to tell my parents not to call me "Fanny" even though it's been what Americans call (and I can't think of a better phrase!) a 'pet name' of theirs for me for most of my 50 years, so not a habit easily broken. Sorry for the beebeecee writing, but I'm listening to "Libel" - terrifically English what ho!!
Toodle pip old bean!

How to make kiefer
Yes, the BBC do ignore listeners' opinions. The BBC plays, especially comedy, are dire. It's all such a sad indictment.
if they had saturday night theatre on the bbc now...it would just be some woke rubbish....
Just what I was thinking!😢
That's simply not true. There's a lot less radio drama on the BBC but some of it is excellent.
If you can't find something you like on the BBC Sounds app I despair.
M@a
Why are the listeners giving out about the BBC?
It has to move on, You know.
It moves with the times and the Audience!
😂
Learn to adapt.
Share and enjoy.
Sto moaning.
Everything has moved on, since THE GROAT!!
🇮🇪😅🤔🍀😂💯
This middle class acting is atrocious. The BBC need to get more than one door
It sounds the same in every play.
TOO QUIET.
They could say bastard in 1966 but not ‘big twat’
My god, you're right
Silly yarn about naive smuggler. Pointless ending. Could have been more interesting in a creative authors hands.
Poor plot. Poor ending. Even poorer story. Give it a miss.
Ho! It is people like you that have made this country the mess it is in now....You have the right name though don’t you ....Dodo........
Thank you
