Description: Fridays When It Rains by Nick Warburton was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 FM, on 20th October 2006 Clive Swift and Lyndsey Marshal star in a ghost story from the age of steam. A girl on a late-night train journey meets a man with a strange tale to tell.
This BBC radio program was very well produced. The twist was slightly predictable to those who have read or listened to many thrillers, but I still got chills and was on the edge of my seat.
