Anthony Berkeley was a journalist, novelist, and founding member of the Detection Club - whose members included Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers - and was one of crime fiction's greatest innovators, developing the idea of the psychological crime novel in the 1920s and 30s. One of Berkeley’s recurring and most-beloved characters was Roger Sheringham, a novelist and amateur detective. In Jumping Jenny, written in 1933, Roger attends a party with the questionable theme 'famous murderers and their victims', only to discover that one difficult guest has been deliberately killed on one of the party's props. When Roger suspects one of his close friends may be involved, he decides to meddle in the evidence - but is he putting his own life at risk with this mischievous intervention?

Harold Pinter was born in London in 1930. His career as a playwright began with a production of The Room in 1957. His second play, The Birthday Party, closed after eight performances but was enthusiastically reviewed by critics. His early works were described by critics as "comedies of menace". Later plays such as No Man's Land (1975) and Betrayal (1978) became known as "memory plays". His writing career spanned over 50 years and he produced 29 original stage plays, 27 screenplays, many dramatic sketches, radio and TV plays, poetry, one novel, short fiction, essays, speeches, and letters. He appeared as an actor in productions of his own work on radio and film, and directed nearly 50 productions for stage, theatre and screen. Despite frail health after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in December 2001, Pinter continued to act on stage and screen. In 2005 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and, in the same year, the Wilfred Owen Award for Poetry and the Franz Kafka Award (Prague). Pinter’s last performance was in October 2006, in the title role of Samuel Beckett's one-act monologue Krapp's Last Tape, for the 50th anniversary season of the Royal Court Theatre. In 2006 he was awarded the Europe Theatre Prize and, in 2007, the highest French honour, the Légion d'Honneur. He died in December 2008. Presented here is a selection of Pinter’s best works, broadcast by BBC Radio across 6 decades. A Kind of Alaska A one-act play in which a middle-aged woman named Deborah, who has been in a comatose state for 29 years awakes with a mind still that of a sixteen-year-old. She must confront a body which has aged without her knowledge or consent, and a brother-in-law who has fallen in love with her. Deborah ..... Harriet Walter Hornby ..... Guy Paul Pauline .....

A BBC Radio adaptation of the darkly comic bestselling novel by Bella Mackie. Grace Bernard is in Limehouse Prison for a crime she didn't commit. But don't feel too sorry for her: she may not have committed this one crime - but she has committed plenty of others. In How To Kill Your Family she explains how, and why, she set out to kill several members of her estranged family in a variety of elaborate ways, starting with her grandparents. Grace recalls her childhood - abandoned by her wealthy father but loved by her mother, who struggled to make ends meet. She recalls the discovery that made her decide to take revenge on her absentee Dad, and all his relatives.

Listening to the Dead A series of five dramas by Katie Hims. After developing the means to make long distance radio transmissions, Marconi devoted much of the rest of his life to listening out for the voices of the dead. If radio can conjure a voice disembodied in space, he expected, as have legions of people since, that radio can capture the voices of those disembodied in other dimensions - in time, in ethereal planes. As technology becomes more sensitive, more diverse, more obscure, there are pioneers always ready to harness the new to the service of this age old fascination. This is the story of five generations of a family whose members can and can't hear the dead. It's an enterprise to explore the myriad ties, stories and quirks that bind families through the generations, across the spectrum of meanings of 'listening to the dead'. Between allowing the echoes of a beloved's voice to live on, and the notion that the dead can engage in communicating new information, are vast grey areas of misinformation that beguile the bereaved and thrill the imagination. Enoch's Machine Enoch Cartwright, Victorian gentleman scientist, invests everything in the development of a machine to record the voice of his dead daughter, Emily, unaware that his living daughter Clara talks to her sister every night. Clara ...... Eva Sayer Enoch ...... Michael Bertenshaw Emily ...... Georgie Fuller Josie ...... Priyanga Burford Mr Wesley Blackburn ...... Ben Crowe Woman ...... Carolyn Pickles Joe ...... Arthur Hughes George ...... Joel MacCormack Narrator ......
