"Cat and Mouse Game," a radio play by R.D. Wingfield, unfolds a thrilling narrative centered on the mysterious disappearance of a wealthy woman. The plot implicates her husband as the prime suspect. However, the investigation itself becomes a suspenseful affair, as authority figures clash and secrets unravel.
The story is driven by compelling performances, particularly from Hugh Burden, who plays Robinson, and Michael Kilgarriff, as John Crampton. Other notable characters include Gerry Landers, played by Jill Shilling, and Arnold, portrayed by Wilfrid Carter. The narrative arc is intensively filled with tense dialogue and confrontations, as exemplified by a moment when Robinson confronts a blunt inspector who has intruded rudely into his space.
Wingfield, best known for his "Inspector Frost" novels and series starring David Jason, crafted "Cat and Mouse Game" as one of his many clever radio plays. His radio dramas are characterized by sharp dialogue, meticulous character development, and unexpected plot twists. In "Cat and Mouse Game," Wingfield utilizes his knack for creating intricate mysteries to keep the audience guessing till the very end.
The radio play was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in May 1971 and was produced by David H. Godfrey. This production remains an engaging example of Wingfield's ability to craft taut, thrilling stories for radio. Развлечения

I listened to this ages ago, this is my second time, and I still enjoyed it immensely. Thank you.
Enjoyed a lot. Cant fail to remind u of columbo, though preceeds it by decades
Fun to hear all these Wingfields again! Masterful writer! Ty OTR
Wingfield is one of my favorite authors, even though I have just discovered him recently. Being an English/Literature professor, with a love of good Creative Writing, Wingfield gets an "A." Too bad authors like him are not studied in college.
One of my favourite plays ever!
Excellent! Great story, great narration!
Brilliant wish it were longer
I did NOT see that coming! 😮
Jolly good, what? 😅
Thank you so much
Wonderful 😅 I can’t stop listening to all the great shows. BRAVO 👏
Good one. A damn-good one
really enjoyed listening to this play
Thanks for listening
Witty Great ending.
So this is where they got Columbo from
Oh! Nice to know!
That's what I thought. The detective has some of the techniques of Columbo. However, this detective is much more flirty than Columbo. BTW, we had friends who were friends with Peter Faulk's parents. He really was a nice guy. @@VickiNikolaidis
I had the same thought.
Totally!
No, Colombo is based on "Crime and punishment", the structure of a crime we know all about, then the criminal gradually reveals themselves to the detective; driven by growing guilt.
Nice, 🤠👍🏻 very Nice!!
Fabulous!!!😅
UNFORGETTABLE VOICE OF HUGH BURDEN RECOGNISED HIM AT ONCE LOVELY EPISODE
Thank you
Good play. Thank you. Not sure why politics in comments. 😢
Excellent really enjoyed it
Did RDW work in a bank? Every play so far involves a bank manager and head office!! I do like his work - not too many characters, easy to know who's who. Some of these other old plays, everyone posh sounds the same!
Yeh I.R. has lovely shades of Frost and Alistair Sims)
Loved it!
I don't want to give the plot away but..........
