"Room to Let" by Margery Allingham


Dr Charles was a quiet man, but when he took a room in Mrs Musgrave's house fear moved in with him. And murder. They called it the Miracle of Marlborough Road - the case of the shot without a gun.

Who killed Dr Charles?

And how...?

"Room to Let" was Margery Allingham's only full-length radio play, first broadcast on the BBC Light Programme in November 1947. No recordings of that, or of the two subsequent transmissions, are known to exist. This production by the Old Court Radio Theatre Company was made in 2000, in partnership with the Margery Allingham Society.

The play is copyright 1947 by P & M Youngman Carter Ltd. The recording is copyright 2000 by the Old Court Radio Theatre Company and the Margery Allingham Society.
