THE CRIME WAVE AT BLANDINGS'

on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

A comedy for broadcasting from the story by P. G. Wodehouse
Production by John Cheatle
Never was a scene created in fiction with more delightful opulence and traditional indolence than that of Blandings Castle, seat of the Earls of Emsworth. Outside Blandings nature seems always to smile, despite the incredible carryings-on behind its walls. Certainly no excursion could more readily take the mind from depression than one among the noblemen, gardeners, angry aunts, and idle nephews of Blandings Castle especially when crime of the Blandings order is thrown in ! This play was originally broadcast on December 24, 1939
