ACD Playing With Fire Woman's Hour 1988

Arthur Conan Doyle - Playing With Fire
Read by Edward de Souza
15 minutes
One Sunday, a Frenchman joins a group of friends at a séance, and conducts a dangerous experiment.

BBC 4 Extra aired this at the weekend. Doyle's story first appeared in The Strand in March 1900.
I checked the BBC Genome and the earliest airing I can find is one from Friday 29 April 1988. It was the 15 minute slot at the end of Woman's Hour. I did check to see if Woman's Hour were airing more Conan Doyle stories around that time (that same week or the next) but it appears to be a one-off.
The following Genome link shows entries for the 1988 Woman's Hour slot as well as airings on Radio 4 in 1989 and Radio 5 Live in 1990.

BBC Genome search "Arthur Conan Doyle Playing With Fire"

(There's one more entry at the Genome link but that's for the BBC One TV version which was part of a 13 episode "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" sans Sherlock series - I wonder if the BBC still have those, or were they wiped)

I have uploaded this to Onedrive.
