A comedy by Martyn Wade
With Derek Fowlds as Barry, Annette Crosbie as Kay and Harold Innocent as Turnbull

Barry has a recurring dream of a passionate affair with a wild seductress; his wife Kay dreams of something buried in the garden of their suburban home. When Barry attempts a liaison with his sister-in-law, Kay hires a private detective to try and stop him. But Turnbull seems to be rather more interested in Kay's dream and what might be buried in their garden, the pride and joy of Barry and Kay's terrible teenage twin sons.

The McGuffin by JOHN BOWEN abridged in ten parts by NEVILLE TELLER
Read by Hugh Dickson (1)
Paul Hatcher is a film-reviewer. One afternoon he sees two women and an Alsatian dog framed in a window of the house opposite. It seems to him that one of the women is frightened, and that the other is not a woman. Obsessed with film, he knows that for a moment he has become part of a cinema cliche. He is in the opening scenes of a Hitchcock movie.
