    This is the first radio drama I've listened to on RUclips. I'll listen to more, especially at night when my eyes are tired. I'll listen to more.

      ditto; some of these British uploads contain accents too broad to comprehend, so this was nice audio quality for me, a mere American.

    I’ve been having a binge, there were a couple of disappointing ones, then I struck it lucky. The last one I declared to be the best I’ve heard, but this is an equal tie. Good acting, distinctive voices, a plot with an unexpected end. Even if you’ve guessed what happened, there will still be a surprise. It was a well written script, and I’m pleased to see another Peter Whalley in the suggestions, so I might chance my luck one last time before sleep. Thank you very much for the upload, much appreciated.

    I think the quality of these radio audio books are incredible good. It of course is important it’s a good book. But this is very good writer. If I can choose. The best place to find quality is British. From ladykillers to Agatha Christie or morse / endeavour. Us. Is often action. Not that others can’t. But I’m clearly a fan of British comedy and crime stories and your actors are very very good. Thank you. Something to be proud of. 🧬😊🎸
