Created by A.J. Cronin
Starring Andrew Cruickshank, Barbara Mullen, Bill Simpson

Silence reigns supreme in Arden House - neither doctor is talking to the other and it is left to Janet to try to bring them together. Unfortunately, it isn't easy (both doctors have their pride) and Janet has no idea what caused the 'silence' between them in the first place - although Mistress Niven has.

Thirty years after writing his thriller Stamboul Train, Graham Greene travelled with Christopher Burstall from Paris to Istanbul on the Orient Express, and talked for the first time for television about his life and novels.

"The hunted man, and the dangerous edge of things, psychologically and politically, these are the main obsessions in my work."
"I'm a manic depressive. Boredom has always been my besetting sickness."

The film includes scenes, chosen by Graham Greene from:
"The Power and the Glory"
with Cyril Cusack as the Whisky Priest
"The Heart of the Matter"
with Scott Forbes as Scobie
"Brighton Rock"
with James Bolam as Pinkie
