"Tom Webster wrote a lot of radio drama: 28 plays. Most were under his own name, but several were written as David Bannister. Tom spent most of his working life in Education. He was a teacher and latterly a headmaster; first in Lincoln, then in Nottinghamshire." This was his most well-known work, and was produced for the BBC in 1975. I've listened to it more than once, and think it's a really well-constructed story. Thanks for the upload.

Brilliant story. Wish there was some way of improving the sound quality of some of these stories.

I know what you mean - sadly, while the BBC digital channels have repeated an awful lot of old drama, there are still many plays like this one that are only available from old off-air cassette recordings. There's stuff I heard on the old Radio 5 that I'd love to hear again - but as it was broadcast mediumwave-only, any recordings would be very poor quality...
