I try and listen to them while I'm in bed. I fall asleep almost immediately and I always wake up around 2am and i start over again. I fall back to sleep and most of the time I've had to start over 5 or 6 times before i get to the end. I discovered these programs by accident and I'm so glad i did.

​@@iap-ug3oyIt was only the accent of the upper classes. I grew up in Lancashire and no one spoke with that accent. But even our local accents ate changing now. The richness of lical accents is dying out. My mother, a Londoner, could hardly understand what was said when, after the war, she moved north with our Lancastrian father. Each town then had a slightly different accent and counties certainly did. Vocabulary varied as well. Now the young city dwellers have their own language known as Multicultural London English for that city though other cities have their own versions. This is an eclectic mix of cockney and the various languages of the cultural groups that live there. It is spoken mostly by the young working class city dwellers. And like cockney before it, intentionally unintelligible to outsiders.

Lovely painting of an era when things were simple and families got together around the radio to hear a radio concert or a play. There was nothing else to take your attention … no tv, no smart phones, no computers, just the simple radio! Gave so much pleasure 👏👏👏. Thanks for uploading this ….

@@Crashed2023 it wasn’t the play so much as the picture which is far more evocative of the 30’s and 40’s . Plus I was being snarky about someone waxing lyrical about a time when ‘things were much simpler and life less complicated’ it’s a selective view of history and relies on memories coloured by the security of childhood . I object to this maudlin reminiscing because its indulgence in fantasy leads to ridiculous political notions of returning to that simpler time , it’s selective and doesn’t reflect the reality of the difficulties of those times. The rise of fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany had their genus in trying to return to a previous delusional fictitious incarnation of the nations history . It proffered simple solutions to complex problems, just as now opportunist politicians are offering simple solutions to complex problems with populist rhetoric . I really don’t like to hear older generations extolling the virtues of their younger years as being better or simpler and happier it’s tantamount to condemning the current generation before they’ve even got started , they will make of the world what they will as long as they have the freedom to explore it , shutting people down , segregating people, building walls, divisive rhetoric , harping on about a fictitious past just leads to discontent and discontent leads to conflict . What people really find attractive about the past is that they were young

It’s the same in modern detective stories which portray people from middle class milieus as well. Even just bereaved parents are able to calmly talk to the police. I’ve lost a child not that long ago and know there’s no way one can be that calm just after hearing one has lost a child.

It depends on the level of detachment; in these dramas, it's often an adopted child who gets murdered. Since it's not their "real child", it's not painful in the way the loss of a biological child would be. Of course, it *is* the same way in real life...

I wish the BBC would repeat it's huge drama collection. But it no longer has a 90 minute slot in the schedule for plays like this. It could put them on the web on Sounds, but I guess working out any residuals payments is too much trouble (even though radio residuals tend to be pennies rather than pounds). All very sad really. 😢
