Thanks for this. Also an opportunity to hear Mark Colleano who is the son of Bonar Colleano, the American actor who appeared with Dirk Bogarde in The Sea Shall Not Have Them and Once a Jolly Swagman as well as the famous PnP film A Matter of Life and Death. Bonar was married to Susan Shaw and died at only 34 in a motor accident in the UK.

They seem to be doing a series of them on BBC7. There was another on recently with Bill Nighy. Very well done it was.

Listened to it yesterday and for a 70s radio play it stood up very well.

I wonder if Francis has any memories of the play?

Well Dick Francis doesn't have any memories of anything any more, not since he died. So I presume you mean the other Francis mentioned here, Francis Matthews
