Waiting Game

Waiting Game

This is Episode 5 of Season 12. It's very late at night, several hours after our elderly protagonist, Helen, was brought in unconscious after an unfortunate collision. The hospital staff at A&E (that's Accident and Emergency for our non UK listeners) are now exhausted as they come to the end of a very long shift. While our elderly protagonist, Helen, is still drifting in her mind between trying to get to grips with her current situation, and having flashback memories of events from her earlier life.

You heard Roy R Carruthers as Philip, Patricia Gray as the Cafe Lady, John Warner as Jonathan, Frances Broudie Oldridge as Nurse Freda, Christopher McDougall as Dr Harold Godley, Wendy Lap as Ms McMillan and Nurse Cassy, and Flloyd Kennedy as Helen and Janey. The music and musical effects are by John T La Barbera.
