Piece of Cake - Charles Anthony - BBC Saturday NIght Theatre

Saturday Night Theatre was a long-running radio drama strand on BBC Radio 4. The strand showcased feature-length, middle-brow single plays on Saturday evenings for more than 50 years, having been launched in April 1943. The plays featured in the strand included stage plays, book adaptations and original dramatisations. For most of its history, programmes ran for 90 minutes and were largely entertainment-centred, such as thrillers, comedies and mysteries.

Thank you for sharing this. Great drama 👌

[@hanneshuette]

Two ex-Naval officers, jobless and beset by money troubles, embark on a secret and perilous venture which they hope will solve their problems.

[@daftirishmarej1827]

A phone number with 3 digits!!!!! Thanks sir. You're helping this difficult time to pass with less stress x

[@jetblack.7186]

Happy days. We had one in the 70s. 357.

[@marcwilliams9824]

We had one, 517, which was unfortunately also the number for the taxi firm in the next village...

[@rodpettet2819]

We had 2. Both on the Deal exchange. 954 was the shop and 357 our home.

[@elaineedgar2913]

Please please can we always have a brief synopsis ?

[@JohnGleeson-cx5lg]

No apparently not I've asked repeatedly

[@markpitts4563]

You’re getting a program free.

[@sarahp007]

Maybe you could do the research and post it.

[@JohnGleeson-cx5lg]

Sometimes there is no publicly available information

[@morganlowe3353]

Have we met before ?? I am loving the new to me, video for my listening pleaser. There are many many I have NEVER heard before. it's like you're answering my prayer.

Brill drama.. thanks for sharing.. kind regards Dave 😁👍👍👍👍

[@marionkeville1731]

Great thanks

[@aussieagle]

Fantastic story

[@euniceprobert9060]

Oh my, the woman playing the schoolgirl was very irritating. Real girls don't, and didn't talk that way, all breathless and speaking in capital letters.

[@crochetedlace2838]

It's the radio version of children played by women. Always annoying.

[@mikewellwood1412]

Ah yes, "Liz". Fortunately, dispatched to boarding school at the start of the play, and didn't appear again until the end! When she went off to school, loyal old Stripp said: "We'll miss her". Er, no Stripp, we didn't. :-)

[@marcosaraiva9205]

good stuff! thanks

[@buenavista312]

Perfect.... Thank you so much!!✌️✨

[@sheilahay3370]

A not bad story not the best nor the worst. Found them a bit thick at times and the ending was a bit rushed. Enjoyed listening g to it whilst walking g the dog

[@mikewellwood1412]

Well the actor playing Peter Wilson was the original Dick Barton, and he played it that way, well, Dick Barton meets Bulldog Drummond - act first, think afterwards.

[@cousinsister69]

The story line was pretty weak but I was kept amused by all the bad accents.

[@jenniferpierno6108]

I'd like to have a factotum

[@thebrainpimp136]

"It's extremely inadequate, but it's the best I can say". How veddy, veddy Bri'ish.

[@alicejackson771]

I'm sure I kept hearing Herr Flick of the Gestapo!

[@auntyJanette]

That’s a wonderful link!! I agree. One of the funniest British shows about WW2. What on earth is the title?

[@clivejones1152]

[@clivejones1152]

Actors are allowed to do other things. No wonder they worry so much about type casting

[@hollyfleur6144]

thx

[@kimmccabe1422]

More energy spent on getting work wld have been less trouble. Lol

I lost the plot after five minutes. But good fun anyway.

[@stephenlee447]

The girl got on my nerves really bad actor lol

[@AB-nr8cu]

Helium voice...

[@nigeloakes4957]

A factotum! I knew there was something missing in my life!

[@cousinsister69]

I found the story a bit weak but still enjoyed, as always. Was kept amused by some of the awful accents. Am v grateful for all of these plays.
