Brilliant play thank you.
Really enjoyable play! Thank you for sharing
I really enjoyed this. Brilliant play, I wish this kind of quality drama would return to radio 4. Thank you for uploading
This is sure good. Such great performances all round ! I like that there are no clanging prison bars or police sirens, lol, those overly loud abrupt sound fx that jar the nerves.
As a former CO, I found the prison stuff hilarious. Based on the other comments I either missed something or just have a different expectation. I didn't think it was all that. Thank you just the same tho for sure. ✔👍
