I am completely satisfied that someone bothers to put up these plays which give pleasure to so many. I can always track down further information if I need to. Cheers. Keep em coming please 👍
Excellent production all round. Imaginative writing, acting, credibly and convincingly woven together to hold my attention and interest to the gripping finale. That’s entertainment. Thanks.
Same. I live alone + really enjoy my privacy. I am trawling thru Chesterton Radio's wonderful channel. Both radio comedies + these terrific radio plays. I feel so lucky to have access to his vast array of uploads. Hi from Oz! 👇💜🙃
Synopsis: Edgar Fenton is an ex-cop who has gone into business for himself as a private detective. He has a history of insubordination at the police department and his wife has left him due to his obsessive nature about tracking down criminals. One day a man comes into his office with suspicions of adultery regarding his wife. What Fenton uncovers is more than anyone bargained for.
@@janegriffiths7733I hope you continue to be well, Jane. These synopses are starting to be too much for me. I'm caring for my elderly mom. Maybe different listeners can write one up from time to time. Best wishes!
The Brighton Trade by T.D.Webster - BBC Radio 4: Saturday Night Theatre - Broadcast: Sat 22/01/1977 @ 8:30 pm. A former small-time crook, Jimmy Marsden, comes to see Edgar Fenton, an ex-CID who had left the force to set up his own investigative business, on a personal matter. He wants Edgar to check up on his wife - she's been putting a lot of mileage on her car but says she hasn't gone anywhere. Edgar follows her and finds that she's going to Brighton and meeting in a pub with someone called Vincent Crane, who owns a hairdressing shop. The meeting appears more to do with business than a sexual liasion but when she is found later dead in her car, Fenton tries to find the killer. With Manning Wilson [Edgar Fenton], Ysanne Churchman [Joan Fenton], Graham Weston [Jimmy Marsden], Stephen Yardley [Chief Inspector Wilmott], Terry Molloy [Detective Sergeant Thomas], Jack Holloway [Sergeant Eliot], Kenneth Hadley [P.C.

This was a very enjoyable drama with a tightly woven plot. I found myself replaying sections in order to more fully digest the details. Also, I enjoyed the British slang. It’s always interesting to compare British vs American euphemisms.

@@simonmcgrath4112 you're welcome and you're right, you can get a handle on the decade of the original broadcast.
I recognised "Mike Tucker" (Terry Molloy). Who else from the Archers was there?
@@mikewellwood1412 Angela Piper and Ysanne Churchman.
Yeah, I quite liked that.

👍👍😊
I really enjoy these plays but I do wish there was a synopsis of the play rather than all the social media links etc
Or even a year first aired, cast info, etc. so it can be googled! Frequently, I've heard the same play on another channel, and can't tell until I've listened for 10 minutes!
I just had that same thought
Exactly
Well I think I'm so smart I had this all figured out boy was I wrong I had no clue what was going on I'm not as smart as I think I am sometimes anyway but it was a very good program very good I love it when I'm hoisted by my own petard
I needed to Google that one so ty. I enjoy learning new expressions + their context. This one had an interesting + explosive history! Hi from Oz. 👇💜🙃
Please include a summary of what the play is about in the descriptions. I find myself going back & forth to Google info.
Hope you don't get a hernia with all that toing and froing. 😏😏
