Triple Bill
A collection of three BBC Radio dramas from award-winning author Alan Bennett.
A Visit from Miss Prothero features Mr Dodsworth, a retiree who has all the time in the world. Then he has a visitor from his old firm – Miss Prothero, who is eager to tell him all the news. It was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 11 January 1978.
In Say Something Happened, a naive, inexperienced social worker calls on an elderly couple – but does she need more help than they do? It was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 18 April 1989.
And in Two in Torquay, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman engage in polite conversation in a hotel on the Cornish Riviera. But neither is quite who they appear to be. Who is deceiving whom? It was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 19 May 2003.
Amusing, ironic and affectionate, these three adaptations feature Hugh Lloyd, Patricia Routledge, Judi Dench, Thora Hird, Brian Wilde, Imelda Staunton and Alan Bennett himself.

Alan Bennett
274 books1,116 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name.
Alan Bennett is an English author and Tony Award-winning playwright. Bennett's first stage play, Forty Years On, was produced in 1968. Many television, stage and radio plays followed, along with screenplays, short stories, novellas, a large body of non-fictional prose and broadcasting, and many appearances as an actor. Bennett's lugubrious yet expressive voice (which still bears a slight Leeds accent) and the sharp humour and evident humanity of his writing have made his readings of his own work (especially his autobiographical writing) very popular. His readings of the Winnie the Pooh stories are also widely enjoyed.
