BBC Radio 4 - Skeletons in the Cupboard, Voices

Hearing a random voice over their father's radio ham equipment upsets Lesley.

Hearing a random voice over their father's radio ham equipment upsets Lesley and turns her against David for the first time.

The sisters are getting to grips with clearing their father’s radio ham equipment, but Lesley switches it on and, out of the static, a voice is heard saying, ‘I wouldn’t trust that feller as far as I could throw him!’ – one of Dad’s catch phrases.

En passant, Lesley confesses that Maureen’s ex-husband Ed once tried it on with her.

David arrives and Maureen tries to get rid of him by inventing an old friend who is going to buy the house. David moves the goalposts by saying that he has found alternative accommodation anyway. But does this get him out of their hair? No. 

Now the sisters unite in trying to find out exactly who this David Johnson is.
