1944-08-03 Banquo's Chair

This episode is a new performance of this script originally broadcast on 1943-06-01. For background details about the story, go to https://suspenseproject.blogspot.com/2023/02/1943-06-01-banquos-chair.html

A Scotland Yard detective assembles suspects in an unsolved crime and attempts to trick the perpetrator into confessing.

This is the second of three times this script would be used in the series. Among collectors, the first broadcast was unfortunately better known for its announcement about problems in the prior week’s Sorry, Wrong Number broadcast.

Only the east broadcast has survived.
