Cheers for this Rick - brilliant!
I missed episode 1 of this and I was really quite disappointed, so I'm delighted you've posted it.
Re the movie that Bob talked about being excellent - it absolutely is. I'd say it's probably about the most popular and highly regarded British crime film ever, with an absolute killer jazz soundtrack.
Rick -
I am so looking forward to listening to this series.
Thanks,
Bob
Hope you both enjoy it. ------------------- Rick
The movie was excellent. It will be interesting to compare a radio production,
Thanks
