Saturday-Night Theatre: On the Spot

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Edgar Wallace, adapted for stereo by Raymond Raikes
with Peter Woodthorpe and Trevor Martin

Edgar Wallace's most famous play set against a completely authentic background of gang-land life in Chicago during Prohibition: the Big Shot, his gunmen and his women - Perelli sitting at the organ. Perelli loading his women with jewels and the coffins of his enemies with orchids - an appalling figure of polished criminality.
(Repeated: Monday 3.5 pm)
(Edgar Wallace - The Man who Made his Name: Thursday, 9.25 pm BBC1)
