Shadow of murder is a genius piece of work and the characters are unique verging on bonkers but riveting, I love this series of plays to play at night but this one in particular woke me right up and jolly well worth waking up for ! . Thank you so much .
@Art Moss You happened upon a really first-class introduction to the genre - lucky you! This one is in my top three best-ever productions. There's so much fine BBC drama to explore, and it's still being produced... I don't think we will ever run out. I absolutely agree, I prefer it to film and TV too - in fact I haven't watched TV in many years.
@@janebrown7231 I don't have a t.v. either. I'm not opposed to it, I've just found other less commercial media to meet my information and entettainment needs. By the way, after Ken Whitmore, the next BBC radio dramatist I came to deeply appreciate was R.D. Wingfield. Is he someone you're familiar with?
@Art Moss Oh, yes, R D Wingfield is among my top favourites, one of the authors I seek out frequently. I think he's incredibly talented across the board - structure, plot, dialogue... add a cast of top-notch BBC actors and you've got a gem. Sounds as if we have similar tastes! I too have no problem with TV... I find that I can listen to a radio play while I'm doing other things, and that suits my lifestyle better.
To be pedantic, BBC Radio 4 didn't exist until 1967. Before then there were only two main BBC Radio channels and SNT was broadcast on the BBC Home Service.
The Change came about because the BBC had faced competition from the offshore "pirate" stations. They were outlawed, but the BBC tried to modernise and in the process changed its stations' names. The Home Service became Radio 4. Though the pirates had broadcast mostly music. I don't think there's ever been an English language radio station to equal the BBC's drama output. It's so sad that financial cutbacks are now reducing it to such an extent.

Fatal Flaw what a fool Mathew is, falls for everything, he is his own worst enemy 😮 l think this is probably what does go on in the World of not only writers???🤔

"Colder than of Late," is a terrific story! So glad it's included here.
It's brilliant, isn't it? I've listened to it several times, over the years.
@@janebrown7231 It was my introduction,to BBC radio drama. I don't think it gets better than this production. I find it as captivating as any film.
