1:06
And we're also working on the audiobook, so stay tuned for an update on
1:10
that. But now it's time for today's episode of Pursuit. We had one
1:15
lost episode. Today's episode of Pursuit comes from October two of nineteen fifty and
1:22
the title is Pursuit and the Man Who Died Late and Now Pursuit. If
1:51
your blood is not getting enough iron, you look pale, feel run down,
1:55
and an added burden is placed on your heart. It has to work
1:57
harder to keep you going, So take an iron tonic ironized yeast. Its
2:04
regular use gives you the vital iron you need in abundance. Pallor and tiredness
2:07
may be due to other causes, so to be sure of your conditions,
2:10
see your doctor. But if you are simply not getting enough iron, see
2:15
how regular use of ironized yeast tablets brings back your old time energy and vigor.
2:24
Pursuit a criminal strikes and fades quickly back into the shadows of his own
2:30
dark world, and then the men from Scotland Yard, the famous inspector Peter
2:37
Black, and the dangerous, relentless pursuit when man hunts man in just a
2:45
moment to Night's story, thousands of men bothered with excessive falling hair due to
2:51
infectious dandruff are finding wonderful relief from this condition by using a remarkable dandruff product
2:57
called double danderine. If this is your trouble and you want to avoid the
3:01
embarrassment of hair that's thinning out, tried double danderene and see for yourself how
3:07
amazingly effective it is double danderine actually works where many other methods fail because it
3:14
does more than remove loose dandriff. It gets after the germ piti rosporumo valley,
3:19
which many outstanding authorities say is a common cause of infectious dandriff, and
3:23
it kills this dandreff, causing germ on contact. Completely safe to use.
3:30
Double danderine is given truly remarkable results even in some of the most stubborn cases
3:35
of dandriff. So if infectious dandriff is causing your hair to fall out excessively,
3:39
try dousing your scalp with double danderene, a remarkable dandriff product that guarantees
3:46
dandreff relief or your money back tomorrow. Get double Danderene. Now, with
3:54
Ben Wrightstard as the famous inspector Peter Black of Scotland Yard, we bring you
3:59
to Night's story Pursuit and the man who died late. Yeah, hello,
4:30
ma it right off, then, sir, I was just putting some papers
4:34
in the file. Now I's wedding, O gosling. Mother in law cried
4:41
the father in law, Skarl. Any of these letters imputant? Oh that
4:46
one's from the R. A. C. Your subscription is due Oh right,
4:49
the devil. Don't they send it to my home? I think so
4:51
you asked him to fold it to the yard? Oh dinner, all right?
4:59
Blasts rates they seem to go up every year. You know. It's
5:01
more than a man can afford to keep a car these days, and that's
5:04
a fat There's a message from doctor Bishops here. He'd like you to give
5:09
him a ring. Bishop. You know there was a little chap at the
5:12
church. It reminded me of Bishop. It turned out to be Lord Bagley,
5:15
you know Bagley's liver beans. Yes, exactly. And let's see what
5:20
the dear old gizzard merchant wants. Where's the anemone going to be here?
5:26
Oh France, he's going to spend his time rowing up and down the scene.
5:30
That'll be nice for his watch, won't it. This is doctor Bishop
5:34
speaking. Oh hello doctor, I'm black here, Oh Black, my dear
5:39
fellow. How are you very well? Thanks? How's your wife? Oh?
5:42
Doing quite nicely? Thank you? Look here, would you mind coming
5:45
down for a moment. I got something terribly interesting to show you. Oh
5:48
well, I'm taking a holiday today my brother's wedding. I see how nice?
5:54
All sorts of congratulations. He's the Army chap, isn't he Maybe,
5:58
of course, but I do should pop in for a moment. I'm so
6:01
afraid someone else will get it. And it's your sort of thing. Oh
6:05
alive or dead? Did amazingly did. I've never seen anything like it.
6:11
You must see. It's the best one I've had for ages. After three
6:29
years, my new sister in law and I finally trapped my brother Reggie into
6:32
marriage. He'd fought hard and well that we had won. It'd been a
6:36
matter of principle. That and the fact that, for some unaccountable reason,
6:41
Vivian adored him, and so I had taken the day to see that Reggie
6:45
would forever renounce his pressure precious bachelorsue. Fortified by several brandies and sodis,
6:50
he had done so. On my way home, I dropped in at the
6:55
yard and a few moments later was on my way down to the Lair of
6:57
Scotland Yards. Incredible pathologists. Dr Bishop come in, Hello Black, so
7:11
glad you could come. I don't mind telling you this is a red letter
7:14
day for me. I got him in the examination room. My word,
7:18
it's a topping case. Oh really, I suppose the fact that he's dead.
7:24
Helps, rather wait till I tell the chaps of the RCP. Now
7:30
have a look at this. Well, concussion, I thought you'd say that,
7:39
No, my dear fellow, not at all. Here see that where
7:43
the head has been shaved and the incision. Yes, I took this out
7:48
of the brain. Hello. You think a bullet in the brain would kill
7:55
a man, wouldn't you? Well, there'd be non don't. This one
7:58
did. But it wasn't fired today. It had been in there for months
8:03
and he was brought in late this morning. Oh, now, look here,
8:05
I thought you'd like it. What about the blow on his head?
8:09
That wouldn't have killed him? The bullet entered the frontal lobe just above the
8:16
hairline. See yes, now look at that, Oh abscess. Over a
8:26
period of time it eroded the left anterior artery. Yeah, and that caused
8:33
his death all today, Yes, infection. It had to happen, sooner
8:39
or later it did. Is there any way of telling how long ago the
8:43
man was shot? Not definitely, I'm afraid, but several months, I'm
8:48
sure. What about the blow on his head? Do you know anything about
8:52
that? Happened this morning? They can tell you upstairs who's taking care of
8:56
it, Inspector Mellinson, right, I'll get in touch with you later.
9:01
Delighted, I say, yes, oh boy, you you couldn't be wrong
9:07
about this, could you, my dear? She had rare No, no,
9:13
yeah, yes, sir, that's quiet. Sorry. I left Doctor
9:24
Bishop once again huddled over the sheeted form on the examining table, and went
9:28
upstairs. The last time I had worked with Mallison was when an attempt was
9:31
made to blow up the yard. We've become quite friendly since then. He
9:35
was a dry, rather cynical man who loved his job and laughed at it
9:39
at the same time. Hello, Hello, welcome to my days. You
9:43
look like a snake pot today. Funeral, no wedding, same thing.
9:48
By the way, have you heard about the it's yours? You know?
9:52
I was just going to take the information over to your office. What happened?
9:56
Dead Man Martin Tensley ninety six, Empton Road took a walk and hide
10:01
park this morning, which I hit him on the head and stole his wallet.
10:03
That's all. It was very simple until the gizzard merchant started to mess
10:09
about and found the bullet. What about the thief? We've got him?
10:11
Holds fast to his story, though I want to see him. Yes,
10:15
I suppose i'd better. Hello. This is Inspector Mallison speaking. Would you
10:24
bring Thomas Bolkes to my office? Please? Thank you. Have the relatives
10:30
been notified? But yet I sent a man to the address, but there
10:33
was nobody at home. Neighbour says, Tensley's wife is away in Scotland with
10:37
her two kids. We're trying to contact. Oh well, this is going
10:41
to be interesting. What do we charge our man with robbery or murder?
10:45
Birth? I suppose the bishop insists that the blow had nothing to do with
10:48
death. Didn't do Tensley any gooder bit? H well, and the point
10:52
seems to be when was the bullet filed, how long ago? Who did
10:58
it? And why? I always admired your methods, Sir. You seem
11:01
to get right to the heart of the thing. Oh now, Jackie,
11:05
sorry, come in, Oh, come in box. This is Chief Inspector
11:13
Black. He'd like to ask you some questions. I told you what Japan.
11:18
I didn't kill no one, which, my nasty fellow, is a
11:20
double negative, meaning you did kill someone, possibly Martin Tansley. Eh,
11:26
I didn't kill no one. Your name is Thomas Burgs? Yes? For
11:30
how long have you known the deceased one? Never met in a bloke in
11:33
me online until this morning? What you admit stragging him down and rubbing him
11:37
in Hyde Park? Yes? Had you ever seen him before? No?
11:39
Never? What did you hit him with? Oh? Gosh, it was
11:45
a piece of solid rubber about a foot long? I see. Did he
11:48
strag his head when he fell? It was on the grass? She didn't
11:52
hit his hit or nothing? Oh? Double negative? Are you listen to
11:54
me? Bugs? You're in serious trouble. The man you hit is dead,
11:58
and why shouldn't we Did you think I don't know how to bash a
12:01
bloke shoe? Yes, I'm sure you do. What I want to know
12:03
is did he appear perfectly normal when you first saw him? Did he walk
12:07
or behave as though he was ill? Looked all right to me too,
12:13
All right, That's why I cautioned him. Have you ever carried a gun?
12:16
What do you take my fool? Of course not? I see how
12:20
I constably you can take him back. That's all for the time being.
12:31
It was fairly obvious that Thomas Bokes was telling the truth. His file and
12:35
criminal record of is testified to a series of petty thefts and assaults, and
12:39
we had no reason at the moment to believe that he would add murder to
12:43
his craft. Therefore, we were faced with a unique situation. A man
12:48
had been shot in the head exactly when we did not know. He had
12:52
lived for months with the bullet lodged in his brain. Was it an accident
12:56
or murder? I felt that the answer to this and other questions could at
13:00
least be answered in part by the dead man's wife, Ellen Tansley. Two
13:05
days later, she was located and informed of her husband's death. She returned
13:09
immediately to London, and I interviewed her soon after she had identified the body
13:13
at her home in Brompton Road. I don't believe you. He wasn't shut.
13:18
That man who hit Martin killed him for some reason. You want me
13:22
to think something else, But I won't missus, Tansley. We only want
13:24
to find out the truth, and we can't charge folks for something that we
13:28
feel he didn't do. Now, if your husband were shot by accident,
13:31
there's no need to be afraid to tell us. But he wasn't shot.
13:33
He's never been shot. Why won't you believe me? You are asking me
13:39
to believe that your husband was wounded in the head several months ago, and
13:43
neither you nor he was aware of that fact. Why should I want to
13:46
hide anything now he's dead? He said? Why should I want to hide
13:52
anything now? And what did you mean by that? Nothing? Nothing?
13:56
Oh? I don't know what I mean. Please go away, please,
14:00
and missus Tansley, I am terribly sorry, but I must ask you once
14:03
again. When was your husband shot? How did it happen? He wasn't
14:07
he wasn't it never happened, He wasn't shot. You have lived together as
14:11
man and wife during the past year without separation, yes, and during that
14:16
time you state that he never received a bullet wound in his head. Never.
14:20
I told you there is no doubt in your mind that the man you
14:24
identified at the yard is your husband. Yes, yes, yes, he
14:26
is a stupid Please how long have you been married? Fifteen years? Why
14:33
don't you please? I'm missus Tansley. I'm afraid I must ask you to
14:39
come with me. I'm not satisfied with your story. If you wish to
14:43
telephone your solicitor, I suggest that you do so at once when you suffer
15:01
from irregularity, and take mineral oil for relief. Chances are that you're getting
15:05
only half way relief. You see, irregularity is frequently accompanied by acid indigestion,
15:13
and when this is the case, you need a preparation that combines laxative
15:16
action with at acid action to bring you thorough relief. Now, plain mineral
15:20
oil can't do this because it's powerless to combat the acid indigestion. But a
15:26
remarkable preparation called Haley's mo O combines the correct proportions of pure mineral oil with
15:31
the finest milk of magnesia. As a result, Haley's AMMO gives you thorough
15:37
relief. It not only relieves irregularity, but acid upset as well. And
15:43
Haley's m O is so gentle that patients use it on their doctor's recommendation following
15:48
delicate abdominal operations. When you see how much more Haley's m O does for
15:52
you, you'll be amazed that its cost is only about the same as high
15:56
grade mineral oil. When you buy ask for it by name. You can
16:02
identify Hailey's m O by the big blue letters M H or on the package.
16:08
Now, the second act of pursuit and the Man who died Late,
16:26
I took missus Dansey to the yard. Her statements were so unbelievable as to
16:30
leave no other choice. I couldn't formally charger with murder since murder had not
16:34
yet been proven, but at least we needed an opportunity to ascertain the date
16:38
and manner of the attack on Martin Tansley. Here I met with no success.
16:44
The declarations were unswerving. I don't care anymore. I don't care what
16:48
you do to me. There's nothing else I can say. Martin was never
16:52
shot in the head. I don't own a gun, neither of say.
16:55
But did you're making it all up? I know you are. That a
17:03
man could walk about with a bullet in his brain was one thing, But
17:07
that his wife would testify that she had no knowledge of such a fact that
17:10
seemed impossible. I left her to confer with her solicitor, mister Bernard Lucky,
17:15
and sat with Market in my office. She must have done it,
17:18
sir, Otherwise why lie about it. I don't know, Muffett. I've
17:22
got a horrible feeling that she's telling the truth after what she's been saying.
17:26
I don't think so, sir. I know, I know it's daft,
17:30
but hmm, this is doctor Bishop speaking oh, hello, doctor black Young.
17:42
Hello, how's that lovely place? Tourney house? I wish I knew?
17:48
Look here, would you come up for a minute or two? The
17:49
man's wife is here. I'm holding up a question name good show. I
17:52
don't know how you do it. I haven't done it. She insists that
17:56
Chancey had never been shot. That it's ridicted us even to suggest it,
18:00
because Tansley couldn't have hidden the fact even if he wanted to. What and
18:06
I have to assume that she's lying. They say, that's absolutely marvelous.
18:11
It might have happened. Oh, I mean that I've heard of a case
18:15
some poor old boy shot in the headden didn't know it. Oh that can't
18:18
be Oh yes, I'll pop up and tell you about it. Shan't be
18:23
a sick all right. How did it happen? Oh boy? About sixty
18:38
five? He took a walk. It was in the country, you know,
18:42
some small boys were playing with a rifle. A bullet entered the right
18:47
frontal lobe, but under the hair. Victim had a fine shock of hair,
18:52
much like Tansley. He thought a bee had stung him. Went home,
18:56
slight headache, no blood, nothing. In four hours or so he'd
19:00
forgotten all about it, died seven months later, just rolled over same thing.
19:07
I'll be dashed, Marpett. Ask Missus Chansley and mister Lockett you come
19:11
in with you. Missus Tansley, it might be mud. As a doctor,
19:19
I'm never surprised at anything. One day I'll tell you about this has
19:23
gone far enough, Inspector, you know as well as I do. Please
19:26
will use to sit down. Mister Lockey. I believe you've met doctor Bishop
19:30
and Missus Tansley. As you know you are not under arrest. That there
19:34
are just one or two more questions I must ask and then you're free to
19:37
leave. Hasn't she been through enough? I'm sorry now, Missus Tansley,
19:42
you say that your husband was employed in an architectural capacity. Yes, please,
19:47
when you think very carefully before you answer, can you recall that at
19:52
any time on his return from the office he complained of a headache, an
19:56
unusually severe headache, possibly madam I lump or confusion under the hair there had
20:04
he been fighting with anyone? Ellen, you'd better tell them everything. It
20:10
has nothing to do with this. Martin's dead. Why bring it up again?
20:12
The chicken, because what you know may be the reason for his death.
20:18
Yes, I suppose so. All right, thank you, mister Locke.
20:22
My husband had been seeing another woman. Ah, how when was that?
20:26
About a year ago? He stopped seeing her. I found out he
20:30
said he would stop because of the children. How long ago? A year
20:33
ago? Now, to go back to my earlier question, I can only
20:38
remember once. I I think it was soon after he'd promised never to see
20:41
that woman again, he came home. It was very late, he said.
20:47
He bumped his head. Ah h here, possibly, I don't remember.
20:52
It may have been he was quite drunk. Did he tell you where
20:56
he had been? No? But I knew. Oh, and then he
21:00
continued to see this woman. I think so. I was never sure things
21:03
were different after that. I didn't trust him. Yes, I'm sorry.
21:08
Can you tell us, missus Tansley, the woman's name. I don't know.
21:12
I only knew there was someone else, Margaret? Please? Yes,
21:18
I must ask you to remember the date as exactly as possible when your husband
21:22
returned home after bumping his head. I don't know last year. I think
21:26
it can make a tremendous difference. Will you try to remember exactly when it
21:33
was on a Saturday? I know because he promised to take the children to
21:37
the zoo on Sunday. I see one moment, please, yes, martat
21:41
physical laboratory, Sir, we're poured on the bullet twenty five caliber from an
21:45
Italian mate, gun Bernardelli automatically right now, go on, Missus Tansley.
21:51
You said you knew it was a Saturday a year ago. Yes, September
21:55
or October, the end of September, I think, or the beginning of
21:59
October. I'm sorry, no, no, that's quite all right. You're
22:00
being very helpful. I'm up here to hand me the calendar, will you?
22:03
Yes, here you are, thank you. I see September nineteen fifty
22:11
as the last Saturday in September was the thirtieth, and the first Saturday in
22:17
October would have been the seventh. It was September then, I remember now.
22:21
Because Martin didn't feel like writing out a check for the rent, which
22:23
is due on the second, I had to do it. Thank you very
22:26
much, Missus Dansley. Oh, please forgive me for bringing you here.
22:30
I hope you understand. Policemen make mistakes too. May I go now?
22:36
Oh? Yes, and if it will help, I may say that whoever
22:38
shot your husband will be caught and dealt with. I can promise you then
22:44
it won't make much difference to the children, will it. They won't have
22:47
their father anymore. At least he loved them. We had something to go
23:03
on the date of the shooting. I was reasonably certain of that now the
23:07
type of weapon and automatic which we knew was because of its small size,
23:11
used by women, and we had a possible motive a spurned woman where began
23:15
to look for the killer? Black here, I've got a list to the
23:22
registered and license burner Deli pistols long list. I'm afraid so, sir,
23:26
you better get to work on it. Oh hello Black speaking, I said,
23:38
you want a job, not particularly, but for you anything. Oh
23:42
I'm glad you feel that way. Run down to Tansley's office McIntosh and Kenny,
23:47
they're architects. You find out everything you can about Tansley. Question everybody
23:52
la fame. You speak French beautifully. See if you can do it?
23:56
What find her? Oh that you know? I do so admire you,
24:00
sir. You've no idea what a pleasure it is. I went to the
24:11
taxi cab stand near Tansley's office, questioned the drivers who had been in the
24:14
district for a year or more. One remembered something. He had driven Tansey
24:18
to the corner of Haymarket and Sharlesbury Avenue several times. There the deceased had
24:22
got out and joined a woman, a young woman rather simply dressed. The
24:26
driver thought that she might be a shop girl. After that interview, I
24:30
joined Moffett with his list of persons known to have owned Bannadelli automatics. Four
24:34
days later we had narrowed our search down to six possible suspects, two women
24:40
and four men. We decided to question the woman to begin with. The
24:44
first was a miss Anna Patterson of one hundred and twenty eight Graham Road,
24:48
Hackney. Miss Patterson wasn't in, but the owner of the flats, who
24:51
lived on the premises, assured us that she would return at six o'clock.
24:55
It was then a quarter past five. We decided to wait a quarter to
24:59
six. Rang through to the yard to see if Mallison had turned up anything.
25:03
Hello, sir, good hunting. Where are you waiting for a woman?
25:07
They never keep me waiting? Got some news for you, Oh nasty
25:11
little sneak at Tansley's office didn't like the man and thought we ought to know
25:15
about the woman. Tansley was playing a bart with no Ana Well, the
25:19
nasty little sneak hated to sneak, but he ran into them one day,
25:23
and Tansley introduced her Anna Patterson one twenty eight Graham Rode Hackney. I got
25:30
the address myself. Aren't you proud of me? Terribly? We're there now,
25:36
thanks Mallison. She came in at five past six. A pretty,
25:44
dark haired girl, quite young, was seen by her manner. Immediately at
25:48
a sense who we were, I asked to speak to her in her flat
25:51
and she let us upstairs. The place welt as much as I had expected,
25:56
dark, cold and lonely. What was it you wanted to see me
26:00
about? Please? You own a twenty five caliber Bernadelli automatic pistol. Oh
26:04
no, according to the registration you do? Oh? Yes, I did,
26:08
but not anymore. Can you tell us what happened to it? I
26:14
lost it? I think when I don't remember I see. Do you know
26:19
a man named Martin Tanslen No, I've never heard of that name. I
26:25
don't think this is going to do any good. Martin Tansley died last week
26:29
of a bullet fired into his head. A year ago, I think that
26:33
you fired that bullet. No, no, I didn't, and I have
26:36
a want to set your flat muppet. Yes, sir, do you want
26:38
to tell us why? I must warn you that anything you say will be
26:42
taken down and given an evidence. No, I really don't know what you're
26:47
talking about. Well, then I put it to you that Martin Tansley came
26:49
to you and either for the first time spoke of his wife or informed you
26:53
that she was aware of your relationship and that he wanted to break it off.
26:57
In your anger, you shot him? Now and where did it happen?
27:03
A few days after he told me Hackney marsh we'd gone out for a
27:07
last drinker. I begged him to divorce her and marry me. He said
27:11
no. I shot at him. He fell down. I thought he was
27:15
dead. I ran away and he rang me up A few days later.
27:21
Was he quite drunk when you shot him? Yes? I don't think he
27:25
remembered my shooting at him. He thought we'd had a fight, that was
27:27
all. I was glad that i'd missed. And you continued to see each
27:32
other, Yes, until a week or so ago. Then I read about
27:36
his dying. That man in the Park who hit him? Here? It
27:41
is sir, thank you? Uh one shot fired. You didn't miss him
27:48
when you fired? Miss Patterson, Yes, I did. He was all
27:52
right up, I know he was. He must have been. No,
27:56
Miss Patterson. He died from the effects of the bullet fired. And this
27:59
gun, the bullet you fired into his head. No, no, I
28:03
don't believe you. For your lyne. We took the girl back with us
28:17
to the yard. She was committed for trial and later found guilty of murder.
28:21
However, a recommendation of mercy was proposed and she is now serving a
28:25
fifteen year sentence in Holloway Pursuit and the Pursuit is Ended. Pursuit is produced
28:48
and directed by Elliot Lewis and written by Anthony Ellis. Music was composed and
28:52
presented by Eddie Dunsteader Ben Wright stars as Inspector Peter Black, with Raymond Lawrence
28:57
as Sergeant Moffatt. Featured in to Night's Story where Betty Harford, Norma Varden,
29:03
Edgar Barrier, Alc Harford and William Johnstone. If you have to shave
29:15
once a day, that's bad enough. But when you shave twice a day,
29:18
the scrape and pull scrape and pull. The continuous scrape and pull of
29:23
a razor over the same places time and time again makes your face hurt and
29:29
burn and sting in a way that's plain murder. Murder that is till you
29:33
start using Molay Brushless shaving cream. Then you'll discover that shaving even twice a
29:38
day is a cinch. One reason for this is Molay's body, a real
29:42
body that sets your whiskers up in a way no skimpy, watery cream can
29:48
match and takes the painful scrape and pull right out of shaving. And Molay's
29:52
abundance of soothing lanolen actually conditions your skin while you shave, leaves your face
29:59
feeling refreshed and supple without a trace of burn or sting. Try Molay,
30:03
the cream that means comfort even if you shave twice a day, even if
30:07
you shave with cold water or hard water. Buy the brushless shaving cream that
30:12
combines real body with abundant lenolin and takes the scrape and pull right out of
30:18
shaving. Ask for m ll e. Molay. We invite you to join
30:34
us next week at the same time. When pursuit, we'll bring you another
30:38
dramatic story of the famous Inspector Peter Black of Scotland Yard relentlessly hunting down those
30:45
whose disordered passions breed violence and murder. Another story of man hunting man.
30:51
When we bring you Pursue, Joe Walter speaking, this is the CBS Radio
30:56
Network, Welcome back. Well this episode. I just love the feel and
31:12
the interplay of the characters. This was just a really strong episode of the
31:18
series, sounding great, particularly as it's just the third episode of the full
31:26
series. And it's a shame that we we are missing so many episodes.
31:32
I think we have six missing episodes between this week's show and next week's because
31:37
the way the characters played off each other and the way this was written was
31:41
just it was just a fantastic and uh, just a great interplay in terms
31:47
of making Inspector Black just very human and in making a much more of a
31:55
real character. Now we go on to some listener comments and feedback. Francis
32:01
says Ben Wright was a brilliant voice character actor and is one of my particular
32:07
radio favorites. Just listening to some of his episodes of Pursuit right now as
32:13
it happens. Well, I hope you enjoy the episodes that we're bringing you
32:17
here on the great detectors of old time radio, and perhaps we'll play a
32:22
couple you haven't heard. We continue with our list also with some listener feedback
32:28
from Canada. Listener writes from back in twenty ten, this podcast is great
32:37
for people who enjoy detective shows. It follows five different detective series. That's
32:43
back before we added the sixth, and has added to almost daily. My
32:46
only complaint is that yettering on that the host does before and sometimes after the
32:51
show. If that part was cut down or cut right out, it would
32:54
be a five star from me for sure. Other listeners responded, Adam Graham
33:01
is an excellent host who provides a modern perspective on these historic classics, and
33:07
our leaf says, I love this podcast. I'm shocked than any that people
33:12
have any complaints at all. Well, certainly it's one we've heard before,
33:15
but as I've said before, people tend to enjoin and we build a sense
33:21
of community that way. But I appreciate comments from our listeners in Canada,
33:24
and we'll continue with those as we go into days ahead, as we get
33:31
caught up on all these comments from the Canadian iTunes store. All right,
33:38
well, that will do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with
33:43
the adventures of Philip Marlow, and then join us back tomorrow excuse me Panovac
33:50
for hire, and then join us back here next Monday for another episode of
33:54
Pursuit. In the meanwhile, send your comments to Box thirteen that great attack,
