The story by W. W. Jacobs , dramatised by Douglas Cleverdon and produced by Lance Sieveking
Cast
' It's always risky work waiting for other people to die and leave you money', said the night-watchman. 'Sometimes they don't die; sometimes they marry agin ; and sometimes they leave it to other people instead.'
This observation reminded him of the story of young Alf Simms , who understood that he was to come in for his Uncle George's bit of house property ' arter he 'ad gone '. But, as the watchman used to point out to Alf, sixty is a dangerous age for a man, ' especially when he 'as been a widower for so long he 'as had time to forget wot being married's like '. As you will hear, the watchman's fears were justified.

From somewhere in Scotland
Forty officers of the Polish Army, now re-formed in this country, have formed a choir that has already become famous in Scotland for their appearances in theatres and the concerts they have given in barracks and hospitals to entertain their British comrades in arms. They sing the soldier and peasant songs remembered from their student days ; and out of compliment to Scotland they have learned favourite Scots songs, including ' Loch Lomond ', ' Annie Laurie ', and ' Duncan Gray '.
