Crime at Christmas: The Governess

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Evelyn Hervey dramatised by Barry Campbell and Michael Bakewell
with Angela Pleasance as Harriet Unwin and James Bolam as Sgt Drewd
It all began with the theft of some sugar mice, which was hardly a crime to interest Sergeant Drewd. But it was followed by something rather more serious - murder.
Stereo ("Smallbone Deceased" by Michael Gilbert tomorrow at 7.45pm)
