Is It Something I Said? A play for radio by RICHARD HARRIS with Peter Jeffrey as Mr Wallace John Hollis as Arthur Hilda Kriseman as Stella
A hotel room in Paddington, a suspicious guest and a proprietor who is far from unobservant ...
' You book in - you put your full name and address and your phone number - I'm surprised you didn't put your next of kin and be done with it. Then you pay in advance and when I offer early-morning tea, you refuse it. No one refuses early-morning tea. It's one of the joys.'
' haven't done this sort of thing before.'
