'Now look here my girl' in that Welsh accent - I was little again, listening to my grandparents. Still missed after nearly 50 years.

I can't keep up! Brilliant! I am so enjoying these old plays. I've never heard any of them before and they are helping me pass the time during this pandemic. Thank you Chesterton Radio for uploading all of these gems

[@nzd100]

What a great play. I discovered these during the plague.now I will keep tuning in. This one though makes me long for the good old days,no WiFi,radio,newspapers,and a snow storm. Even though I'm from Africa and iv never seen snow!

[@suzannenichol6077]

I hope you see snow one day. I live in uk and we do not get as much snow as in the past. Global warming i guess.

[@nzd100]

@@suzannenichol6077 thank you

Looks nice in photos,not so nice when your up to your waist in it.

[@mandymandy1524]

Oh i really hope i get an opportunity to see snow - my neices were delighted when on their visit to uk they experienced it ⛄☃️

[@anaderol5408]

You should put snow on your bucket list - it's beautiful but like most of the elements needs to be respected.

Great line : "It's silly to quarrel so late ; let's have a quarrel in the morning , then we can make it last all day...

[@Ray-tk7ei]

Superb thank you so very much

[@paulbroderick8438]

The mention of M & B tablets take me back a long, long time! Love to let my mind drift conjuring up images as the play progresses. Greetings from a Brit living in the USA. Thank you.

[@kayevans2964]

That was very enjoyable, thank you 😊

[@elaineedgar2913]

My favourite play to listen to on a winter’s evening.

[@christrinder1255]

Excellent story! Many thanks for posting 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😊

[@simonmcgrath4112]

Wow this is just great. Such a great story and I'm only a third the way thru and I'm hooked !!!

[@ronin472100]

I'm guessing that if it wasn't for your Uploads, I don't think that I would have come across these excellent Plays.... Thank You!

[@susanhicks2720]

Great story and thank you 👏

[@mikewellwood1412]

Thank you very much for uploading this. This is one of those great regional plays that the BBC used to do so well. They don't seem to exist any more; not in the same way anyway. My theory is that the BBC spent money that might have been used to develop truly regional radio on "local radio" stations, which were and still are an endless series of middle-of-the-road music and phone-ins - certainly no drama, or indeed anything of an uplifting nature.

[@benjaminhall560]

Great play. Many thanks.

Synopsis: A famous actress has been murdered. Police are looking for her husband who has disappeared. He has but one hand. In a snowstorm a farm family takes in a man found wandering in the snow. He has only one hand.

[@suzannenichol6077]

Thank you so much.

[@tottiemae2258]

My pleasure!

[@silverthreadsamongstthegol7643]

I always scroll down to see if you have put us a synopsis and thankfully you have.

Tell you what, I wish I had their doors on my house. Open them a snickle and there's a full-on Antarctic blizzard going on out there, close them and it's dead silent, as silent as... well, as a radio studio🎙 Great play. Thanks for the upload. Totally agree with the "then and now" BBC comments, at least as far as drama is concerned. They still make some excellent work - listening to two excellent series at the moment - but the regular great dramas, thrillers and classic serials are few and far between now.

[@michaelberg9656]

The sound FX are always too loud.

[@jordankennedy8421]

Good one ❤

[@camelia9802]

Very good play but a weak ending. Thanks for sharing.

[@sallyolssen63]

English BBC would be spelling ‘theatre’ THIS way, NOT that way, -‘Theater’!!!!!!

[@mikewellwood1412]

A pedant writes: At the end, they say it was made in Cardiff, i.e. Welsh BBC. :-D (See elsewhere my comment on old time BBC regional radio). (Just for fun, I looked up the Welsh word for "theatre" - it's "theatr" (no "e" at the end)).

[@elainepayne7047]

Loved every second, except for the ghastly pseudo dramatic ‘music’. I too recall M & B medicine.

[@elainepayne7047]

Why the ghastly “music” awful,

[@mikewellwood1412]

I must admit: the music was unnecessary. It doesn't detract from the play though,
