As the truth tightens around him, he must confront the chilling realization that the deal he entered may cost far more than he ever imagined. The BBC Radio broadcast of Deal With Murder by Peter Cornish aired on Saturday Night Theatre on May 9, 1964 at 8:30 PM on the BBC Home Service. It was a classic, twisty 90-minute crime thriller produced by Audrey Cameron. The plot kicks off with Lynn Harker, an up-and-coming portrait painter (played by Jane Wenham), receiving a mysterious phone call from an American warning her that he wants to "preserve her life"—just before she gets framed for the murder of her wealthy, estranged aunt. The production featured a fantastic cast of classic British radio stalwarts: Jane Wenham as Lynn Harker John Pullen as her fiancé, Tom Swayne Marjorie Westbury as Lady Mathry (Aunt Nina) Stephen Thorne as the mysterious American telephone caller Andrew Sachs (before his famous turn as Manuel in *Fawlty Towers*) as an American motorist who provides a crucial, hard-to-track-down alibi.
