    As soon as I heard the voices of the two main characters I knew I was in for something really great, it was so good & very moving.
    I loved everything that Anne Bell appeared in she was always wonderful. Peter Jeffery played Oliver Cromwell in a TV drama series, he was superb as he was in everything else. Thank-you so much xx

    I’m so used to and enjoy reading murder mysteries, I kept listening for the surprise, the twist. This is a compelling listen, a character driven procedural story with a straightforward plot. No twists.

    Really enjoyable. Vintage radio plays are so much more appealing than current ones.

      Too right. These days Elinor would kill Paul and be acquitted on account of emotional abuse. She would then realise that Myra had been just as exploited and they would end up as an item.

    Thank you for such a wonderful play, thoroughly enjoyed this.
    What a tradegy, and such a waste Mr Preston resorted to such desperate measures only for a short time of happiness.
    Different times , different era.

    It must be an older play bc the accused received his punishment (hanging). A play (or movie) today would find the accused receives a pardon from the Governor.

    Well acted but totally straightforward and cliche ridden.

    • @RootlessNZ
      @RootlessNZ Год назад +1

      And predictable.

    • @VLind-uk6mb
      @VLind-uk6mb Год назад

      @@RootlessNZ I agree. It was well-acted, but what was the point of it? Man loved colleague; man hated wife; man killed wife; went on the run; tried; convicted; hanged. "Just for our time together"? A few snatched days here and there? If we were supposed to think this was a grand passion, they were too suburban to be convincing. This was no Brief Encounter. It seemed flat throughout and really petered-put when it ended.
