Philip Maitland Hubbard was a British writer. He was known principally for his crime and suspense novels and stories, although he wrote in other genres as well. For example, contributing short stories and poetry to The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and articles, verse, and parliamentary reports for Punch.
Saturday Night Theatre was a long-running radio drama strand on BBC Radio 4. The strand showcased feature-length, middle-brow single plays on Saturday evenings for more than 50 years, having been launched in April 1943. The plays featured in the strand included stage plays, book adaptations and original dramatisations. For most of its history, programmes ran for 90 minutes and were largely entertainment-centred, such as thrillers, comedies and mysteries.

Terrific this. I think it may have been Hubbard's only radio drama. Some of his favourite tropes (inshore sailing, men driven by their instincts, women who don't seem to do a lot but are actually hard as iron). Anyone who liked this should check out his books!

Let me add my appreciation for the well-spoken English. Ever since East Enders aired on TV I miss at least a third of what is said in British productions. You need subtitles to understand the dialogue. How lovely to have these earlier plays.

Agreed, as American where most ambitious youngsters get rid of any accent by 20, I have been curious about why the British insist on unintelligible accents. I understand those from all parts with English as a 2nd language better than the native British who refuse to speak properly.

A non RP accent being introduced pre-dates East Enders by several decades when the BBC used the Yorkshire born Wilfred Pickles as an announcer during WW2.

Thank you for upload. To all the whingers who want a synopsis / brief description / cast list etc etc etc - imagine it is 1966 and that you failed to purchase your weekly copy of the Radio Times - this means you would only have two choices 1) listen to the play with absolutely no prior information or 2) don't listen to the play.

@theKoshmeister Spoken like a true entitled individual of today whose life is lived like a bad actor of a soap opera ...... Newsflash - it's ok (really it is) to take a leap of faith with something as trivial (in the big scheme of things) as to the nature of a relatively short radio play whose sole purpose is to entertain. Save your angst for more important issues dear Koshmeister - no doubt in your mind you ARE skilled or prominent in a field or other. Hope I've not disappointed your expectation for obnoxious responses.....albeit your initial response fully fitted your own description.

Many thanks to Chesterton Radio for this fascinating upload. I wish we could have more of these nowadays on mainstream media... We miss these radio plays. I say, English phonetics evolved radically over the past decades. These vintage BBC plays portray the more elegant enunciation and elocution of the past generations.

You just reminded me - we used to have a family photo of my parents and two daughters all gathered around the radio/record player - it was my father's pride and joy - it was a German brand - it could pick up most European cities (great big valves inside with which he was constantly playing) and the record player had tiny mirrors on the inside rear wall. The turntable played 45s, 33s and....78s!! It was a gorgeous piece of furniture.
