Classic Serial: Memento Mori: 2/2

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Muriel Spark.
Set in 1950s London, this is a funny and often touching observation of old age and how the past has a bearing on the present. Mrs Pettigrew is blackmailing Godfrey; and the mystery telephone caller persists in his warnings of "Remember you must die!" These calls soon become widespread, defying all speculation and the efforts of the police. Repeated on Saturday at 9pm
