Settling down under the covers, in bed, getting ready to listen to another intriguing play by Peter Whalley. 🎉😊

[@janegriffiths7733]

[@mma266b]

Same with me. Multitasking

[@laurelhimes7458]

Me too!!! Sewing!!

[@marcia5939]

As the saying goes, the pictures are so much better on the radio. Very true!

[@user-pl6wk3wg6d]

A 'powerrful drama'; it's an 'art form' all to itself, the radio drama!!! Moreso than the visual image from a 'live' stage, or, screen performance, the the actors have to convey with their voices the characters and this comes across well here! Peter Whalley has done a first-rate job in writing this one. An "art-form" all in itself, not to be underestimated!!!

[@0reozsgaming995]

With his clever plots and well considered scripts, Peter Whaley is a superb writer for audio media. Each of his characters has their own distinctive

[@carolokbrblol]

I go to bed. Pick these up and listen instead of v watching. Love my nights in bed listening. Thank you.

[@ashleyrigatoni702]

[@elizabethbower2168]

[@Lexington125]

[@triathleteuk]

Peter Whalley writes some good stuff . He's very prolific.

[@simonmcgrath4112]

Yeah ur right he was very prolific and what a lot of people don't no is that he wrote over 600 episodes of Coronation Street and some very famous episodes with Hilda Ogden and I think Pat Phoenix he passed away from Cancer in 2012 or thereabouts? Stay safe, these dramas keep me quite sane while furloughed.

[@Stiffd1]

Yes I liked this. They have grit...almost smell the tarmac in this one. Love the overlays and effects, bends and twist at the end(!)

[@michaelclark5732]

Should have seen that coming, the body in the boot! But I didn't - which shows how good Peter's writing is.

[@liamoloveboxing6844]

​@michaelclark5732 well done telling people like myself that. Look at the comments to see do people like but you had to give the ending away gobshit

[@ElsieJoy39]

Oh bother!!....reading comments whilst listening...and now I find a spoiler that I wasn't expecting..😕

[@barbaramcenaney2263]

Great listen, kept me guessing.

[@0reozsgaming995]

“Each has their own distinctive mode of speech” I was going to say, before my overly eager finger buggered it up.

[@RM-ti8nf]

Lol. I've done that. You can also edit your post if you want- just click on the 3 vertical dots on the right hand side near the top of your comment. 😊

[@alexdavies7394]

An intriguing drama but the ending was rather abrupt. I wish some people wouldn't spoil the ending for the rest of us.

[@NoosaHeads]

Never saw that coming...

[@keldaogg2157]

Did not see that coming.

[@flyonthewall7026]

👍

[@vickinoeske1154]

That was an odd one.

[@carmaaa8508]

Then say you don't do it I will say you attacked me !!!! THATS WHY NEVER EVER PICK UP A GIRL. !!!!!!!!!! Shegonna play him like a card. I've seen it so many times before !! I feel bad for him

[@Baskerville22]

Is that car in the pic a Hillman Minx ?

[@jeffhubbard5660]

Ford Anglia 105e.......

[@terrylowe258]

He gave her the money anyway lol

[@makedab4614]

Good story but I guessed the ending midway through.

[@johnturner1073]

I've listened to a few of these by the same writer, and central to all the plots is the same theme...infidelity...

[@seanmichaluk1222]

Who?

[@aussieagle]

Bit weird for me

[@michaelberg9656]

horrible music, sound effects too loud, but a good play!

[@Loobylooto2]

Thank you 😊
