Further Information
Val Gielgud, who is Dramatic Director to the B.B.C., and Holt Marvell, the well-known radio playwright, have laid the scene of the murder in a studio of Broadcasting House, and chosen for their victim an actor who is actually taking part in a broadcast play at the time of his death. The familiar call of "the National programme from London" has certainly never heralded stranger incidents than on the fateful evening described. Incidentally, in telling their story the authors have revealed many fascinating details of broadcasting methods, and supplied plans of the studios in which the incidents took place.
