The author of tonight's play claims that it is not primarily a thriller. It is, he says, the story of a marriage which is slowly going wrong, and which is altered as the result of a short but agonising experience. Yet, despite his disclaimer, the play has a thrilling plot, and a brave ending.
Tile Draycotts, Vi and Keith, live in the comfort and security of their suburban home at Iverton, near Birmingham. But the marriage has gone slightly sour. Keith, junior partner in a firm of printers and publishers, is absorbed in his work, and Vi has fallen back on the companionship of Carol Armistead, a witty and amusing young woman whose own marriage has gone astray. Then one night, the whole pattern of the Draycott's life is thrown into confusion. A policeman comes to the door with the news that a woman has just been found strangled in a nearby copse. Keith had walked past the spot about the time the murder must have been committed. Naturally Keith denies having seen anything, but soon anonymous letters begin to arrive...

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
