THE PAINSWICK LINE

on BBC Home Service Basic

by Henry Cecil
Cecil Parker , Monica Grey
Denys Blakelock , Alan Haines in an adaptation by the author from his novel of the same name
In the Painswick family succession from father to son was usually marked by a variation from respectability to criminality. When the present-day generation came up against the demands of modern society, one or the other quality was bound to come out. Luckily there was a faithful girl to support the present holder of the name in his endeavours-criminal or respectable.
