on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

A detective problem by J. Dickson Carr
Characters in order of speaking :
Taxi-driver ; Margery Grey ; Anna ; Riven; Sir Francis Church ; Dr.
Fell ; Harry, Brewster
Play produced by John Cheatle
In the course of this play a voice will say' 'Turn out the lights, please'. It is suggested that you, the listener, when you hear this, turn out the lights in your own room, so that you have the same chance as Dr. Fell of discovering what happened during the black minute.
This play has been broadcast before, but even if you heard it then, it is more than probable that what remained in your memory was the unusual setting, rather than the solution of the mystery, so that your enjoyment will be just as great.
