Script by Jeffrey Segal f Friday's broadcast
Dr. and Mrs. Dale have had a row about Elvis who prevents Mrs. Dale from accompanying Dr. Dale on a medical course in the Isle of Wiyht. O.J. feels that Dr. Jackson is not ' a gentleman ' and has walked out in the middle of decorating the Jacksons' flat. Jenny's hair has been coming out in handfuls and she has decided to sue the hairdresser. Bill Elliot has invited David and Gwen to the Bahamas: Phil has been interviewed for the choral scholarship and now waits for the result.

A new series of plays, each of which tells the story of an escape
Cold Storage by Leslie Darbon with Harry Towb and Derek Nimmo
Both the Cops and the Robbers alike fall foul of Kelly, the world's worst nightwatchman. And the clock ticks its way towards an icy death.
The Cops: and in the middle:
Music played by ALFIE KAHN
Produced by LESLIE MEGAHEY
(Derek Nimmo is in ' Charlie Girl ' at the Adelphi Theatre, London)

Escape
THESE plays are a departure from the usual radio drama series, in that it is the subject of each play which provides the common factor, and not the central characters. The eight authors who have contributed to the anthology were simply asked for a play which tells the story of an escape from a ' tight spot.' The result is a collection which, whether set in the air, on the sea, or underground, present a wide variety of unusual predicaments. For example, one ' hero' is trapped in a suit of armour, another in a space capsule, and another in a station waiting-room.
As the title suggests, in each play an escape can be expected. But, whether writing drama, comedy, or farce, each author has added his own unexpected twist. The escape may be lucky, or ingenious, or even due to forces for which there is no simple explanation at all. It may simply prove that one man's refuge is another man's prison-because it is the effect of the escape on the characters that really counts. While each play stands on its own the changes are well and truly rung.
