    The script was fantastic. And of course the actor for even better
    But just imagine if there was a part 2 to this play
    and he told the truth about ---- bunker 29 ?
    Damn that would be a good movie.

    Hilarious accent! How did the other actors stop themselves from lsughing. Reminds me of Peter Sellars French accent in Pink Panther.

    De Witt's accent is the most attocious the BBC has ever put forth. Every man in Holland will shudder at the ineptitude of the voice actor's attempts. I laughed so much on hearing it.

      I did wonder about his origins. I remember when a plane was hijacked at Schipol airport for some days I think in the 70s and all we did was to go and look - really bad taste!

    An excellent example of the eighth plot, namely the idealist who returns as a realist which also disproves the assertion that seven can say it all.
    ps imo it is another example which highlights the relentless shortening of radio drama on the beeb in order to pack more into the schedule. Sure the 'story' could be told between 14:15 and 15:00 but so much of the power would be lost.

    A well done play, as expected from those era of the BBC. But propaganda under the guise of entertainment non the less.

    I have to say the Dutch/German accents were terrible. I couldn't tell what they were supposed to be. A good yarn though and I enjoyed the story. The sound was terrible with lots of hissing and interference in the background unfortunately.

    • @thiswholeotherchannel66
      @thiswholeotherchannel66  4 года назад +3

      I believe it's the best available recording.

    • @RSEFX
      @RSEFX 4 года назад +4

      I agree. One character is either too loud or too quiet relative to the other one. Makes it very NOT suited to fall asleep to since the volume has to be constantly adjusted. The problem isn't with the actual recording quality but with the directions to the actors and mic placement at the original time this was made.
