We can only rerun them … oh … once a year? The modern ones I tried some years back … awful, from the acting to the wokery.

However, even the old showed signs in two ways … first of all, she had to be dashing, with a man’s name, e.g. Steve, which also covers the gay lobby but the male has to be almost dismissive of the woman’s capabilities … and I don’t like either thematic elements … tales with each doing what each is capable of are more fun to me, with respect for the other’s abilities and not claiming that they, each, can do what the other does … awkward wording.

Yes, it’s true that they cover that too where Temple “concedes”, finally, that his wife had “done well”. Too patronising for mine, just as I can’t stand modern feminazis. I want them as a team, the man and woman, esp. in this day and age.

Having said all that, the Temple tales are about as good as we can get, composition-wise … new challenge, new face, every so often. They really do it well and yesterday and the day before, those radio plays eased the eyes wonderfully. Thus, maybe, we need a small stock of them at hand. I’m thinking one more after this one … Conrad? Geneva? Experts please opine on the matter.

Here’s this radio play today, later a Tue Mat.
