More about it

CD version, 256kbps 44kHz mp3

Cold war espionage thriller, adapted for radio. Starring former Doctor Who Tom Baker.

An English book publisher (Baker) is approached by a mysterious woman wielding a bulky manuscript, at a book fair behind the Iron Curtain, and asked to keep a promise he had made to publish a volume of memoirs written by a Soviet scientist. But the memoirs are of more than passing interest to British military intelligence, as they seem to contain clues to the top secret workings of a nuclear weapons system.

Adapted for radio by the BBC, from the novel, as a full cast dramatisation. Originally broadcast in 7 parts.

More Mystery & crime

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
