Saturday-Night Theatre: The Dark Backward

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Michael Robson
[Starring] Daniel Massey as Lewis Harper
with Patricia Gallimore as Natasha Arabin, Gabriel Woolf as David Waring and Anthony Newlands as Max van Lindt.

"So for a second time I was aboard a Jumbo, heading for Hong Kong. Max and Natasha. But this time there was a significant difference. This time - I believed - I had got over my impossible infatuation with Natasha; and this time I was going to contribute to the downfall of the man I most despised. Had I realised then what lay ahead when I decided to indulge in minor heroics, I should have stayed in my flat in Westminster..."
