I have gotten a new copy of this from Usenet for your enjoyment. This one works!

FW Crofts - Inspector French and the Starvel tragedy - BBC Drama 1987 (1.26.32)


The lonely old house in Starvel Hollow stands as usual one evening.
The next morning it is a heap of smouldering ruins. When the
almost cremated remains of its three inmates are discovered an
inquest is held and a verdict of accidental death arrived at.
However, some weeks later an incident occurs which arouses suspicion
in a bank manager and Inspector French is called in.
