More about it

1942: Colonel Michael Wentworth M.P. is reported missing, believed dead after his plane crashed into the sea. His wife feels it is her duty to her husband's constituents to stand in his place as the local M.P. (this in the decades before today's "professional" politicians) and is highly successful in her role. Three years after the war's end (why so long as 3 years??) her husband returns, explaining that his death had been faked as part of the war effort. He expects to return to his old role, both in the family and in Parliament, but both their lives have irrevocably changed.

An interesting and thoughtful piece.

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.
