1801. âA Horror Storyâ (12/11/78; rebroadcast 6/21/79)
Cast: Bob Dryden (Donnet/Feraud); Ian Martin (Poncet); Mary Jane Higby (Camille). Written by Elspeth Eric.
Gaston Donnetâor is he Lucien Feraud?âis a gourmet cook, restaurateur and expert cobbler. That all sounds okay, until the ingredients of his most famous and best-liked recipe and the material he uses to make his finest slippers become known.
Notes: Bob Dryden is a radio actor with many different qualities to his voice as a ventriloquist. He is often asked to âdoubleâ or âtripleâ and has even been called upon to play all the parts in a scene. Here, he plays a double role.
1802. âThe Unholy Miracleâ (12/12/78; rebroadcast from 6/16/78)
1803. âWard Sixâ (12/13/78; rebroadcast 6/22/79)
Cast: Norman Rose (Dr. Andrei Yefimych); Eugene Troobnick (Mikhail); Earl Hammond (Ivan Dmitrick); Russell Horton (Dr. Knobotov); Bryna Raeburn (Daryushka). Adapted by Percy Granter, based on the 1892 short story Ward Number Six by Anton Chekov.
Dr. Andrei Yefimych is assigned to take over the hospital of a small village in the Russian heartland. There is filth and vermin everywhere, but the villagers donât seem to careâtheyâre too poor and ignorant. What upsets the doctor most is the condition of Ward Six, where the insane are locked up, but where the doctor finds the one man with whom he can carry on an intelligent conversation. All this does is start the villagers thinking the doctor is also insane.
1804. âDr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hydeâ (12/14/78; rebroadcast from 6/19/78)
1805. âThe Search for Myraâ (12/15/78; rebroadcast 6/26/79)

George Hastingsâ secretary is less concerned than his wife, Ruth, when he calls her Myra. Ruth demands that he visit a psychiatrist. With some prodding the doctor gets Hastings to admit that 30 years ago a girl named Myra was his boyhood sweetheart, but that he married Ruth instead for her money. When Ruth hears this and leaves him, Hastings searches out Myra, who looks as if she is still 21 years old. Hastings is amazed, until he finds out why.

James Barton, who served in His Majestyâs navy during the American Revolution, is readily accepted by beautiful Viola Montague, but she must wait for the return of her father, a retired general. In the meantime, Barton starts believing he is being followed, but only he can hear the footsteps of his pursuer who, the famous psychic detective Dr. Hesselius declares, is a âfamiliar,â someone who is holding Barton âin a supernatural tie.â Why he is being held so must be determined before the wedding ceremony can take place.
