The great Peter Whalley.

I've enjoyed all the Peter Whalley plays I could find here, some of which have very few views, which surprised me for someone so prolific. Peter Whalley must have spent his every waking hour writing, judging from his output. Over 600 episodes of Coronation St. aside, he wrote many other TV favourites, as well as books, plays and radio dramas. He tells stories of straightforward, ordinary people who generally turn out to be anything but, and does it with all the skill, guile, and sleight-handedness of a true master craftsman. Do not try to outguess him - assume that everyone has something to hide and you'll get along fine. Just excellent, intelligent radio drama, another of the countless examples on this fabulous website.

Very well done, wasn't expecting the ending, worth a listen 😊
