I listened ALL the way to the end of the actual recording including the news bulletin.....what a snapshot of life on that day! RIP 8 year old girl. Never forgotten.....your life has been immortalised in this random snipped of recording.

Bless her 😢❤

The wonderful Peter Barker, who reads the news at the end of the play, was still on our airwaves in the 1990's. One of the last true voices of the old BBC.

[@sharongustafsson512]

Brilliant plus the news at the end was wonderful.

Thank you for this excellent play. Thoroughly enjoyed 😊

[@Bertie_and_Dot]

I enjoyed this thank you. I enjoyed hearing the news at the end as well, trading stamps, housewives and John Stonehouse MP, who later faked his own death.

[@clivejones1152]

Wonderful news bulletin left on at the end. Plus ca change

[@cynthiazeitner2098]

The story line, the beautiful dialoge and the rich quality of the characters voices makes for fabulous entertainment. Anyone who judges the drama just on the story line didnt really listen to the drama at all!

[@anaderol5408]

Yes the news at the end most interesting but I loved the RESPECT for Big Ben.... a whole 30 seconds of dead air time before Big Ben starts to ring

A newspaperman with "a nose for trouble" is traveling through Italy and meets a young woman tourist. They are both going to the same town and agree to meet there. The reporter is interested in a potential clash in the Tyrol, governed by Italy over mostly Germans.

As ever many thanks Tottie Mae!

Austrians not Germans, German speakers and it's pronounced Li:enz

Tottie Mae , thank you very much .

Prunella Scales! Blimey. Love the BBC English almost as much as the cod American/Austrian/Italian accents. They don't make them like this any more!

[@philiphema2678]

I may be incorrect here but I believe helicopters were not present before the war. Their first use was in the '50s in the Koeran War.

[@anaderol5408]

Agree - helicopters were still very experimental and initially used only by the military (although in the story it could have been an Austrian military helicopter) - but I don't think the flying machine heard in the story sounds like a helicopter - more like a small airplane

[@2msvalkyrie529]

@ Philip Hema Quite so. A well known blooper in the otherwise excellent film : Where Eagles Dare has the SS officer arriving by helicopter . !

[@northdallashs1]

This story takes place sometime after 1960.

[@chicagogyrl4846]

A quick synopsis would be appreciated!!

[@gordonshewan9892]

Yeah it was the Saturday night theatre that started 1943..not this play setting....

My God, amazing how sexist and racist this sounds today! LOL

[@yvonnewalesuk8035]

And yet, it seems to me, that there is far more racism and sexism today.

[@katharinebarker5222]

Only to the woke drips.

[@kayi9236]

This was first broadcast over 60 years ago, so not comparable to today!

Awful soap opera tripe.🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 Too bad. Usually love the brilliant old BBC radio dramas.
