Saturday-Night Theatre: O'Rourke's First Case

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Vincent MacInerney
John O'Rourke is made redundant at 40, so he applies to the Enterprise Allowance Board in Liverpool for a £40-a-week grant to set up in business as a private detective. In no time at all he is caught up in the world of modern art, drug dealing and shoot-outs on container ships.
Just Another Night written and sung by Vincent MacInerney, Steve Wright (guitar), Dave Dover (bass) Steve Bartley (percussion)
BBC Bristol. Stereo (R)
