I wasn't sure if this would be best placed in the crime or scifi section, I opted for here.
6 x 30 minute episodes, transferred from 2 x 90 minute cassettes. Full cast dramatisation.
Recorded off radio in early 90s.

Thank you for sharing this. Sounds rather interesting from Bob's description.
Many thanks for this wonderful serial, David. I listened to the first three episodes last night and am looking forward to the final set tonight.
Some details:
-------------------
When Mike Fisher, computer programmer with Peregin Communications Systems,
comes home after a business trip abroad, he announces that he's going to
quit and proposes to his girlfriend. On the day of the wedding he dresses
up in ladies underwear and drives into a tree. Clearly the stress has got the better of poor Mr Fisher, but his distraught girlfriend, Kim Drake is determined to get a better answer. An intriguing tale of intelligence agencies and covert defense projects where nobody is all they appear. Excellent drama.
