main character was Aubrey Mason, chief investigator played by Michael Todd. In essence this

stead of missing persons being sought, this time around it’s uncommon cases being investigated
and solved.

instructions for all his works to be burned instructions which Brod chose to
ignore). As we spend time with the unusual party, it becomes clear that Kafka's

The Gloriana Murder Mystery by Michael Payne
The Inter-City Contract by Rod Beacham

There are some grand performances, notable from Margot Boyd as a septuagenarian mountaineer, Steve Hodson
as a self-possessed smoothie, and Alan Downer as the irascible Welsh steward. It is all quite marvellous and
nothing done on radio 4 nowadays comes within a mile of it.

and unexpectedly as it had begun.
Then comes the mist...creeping slowly, inexorably into town, where it
settles and waits, trapping you in the supermarket with dozens of others,
cut off from your families and the world.
