WALLY K. DALY THE B BLOCK TRILOGY


(4.5 stars; 1 review)

Experience the comedic brilliance of Wally K. Daly in this trilogy of radio plays, originally aired on BBC Radio 4. Each story features a unique blend of humor and adventure, showcasing the escapades of elderly characters who find themselves in outrageous situations.

In "Burglar's Bargains," two members of a Prisoners' Aid Society attempt to pull off 'the robbery of the century,' only to get entangled with rival gangs and unexpected challenges. "A Right Royal Rip-Off" follows Charles and George, two elderly inmates, as they plot to steal the Crown Jewels during an outing to the Tower of London. Finally, in "The Bigger They Are," a Mafia scheme to defraud the Bank of England is hilariously thwarted by a group of prisoners and their governor.

Directed by Martin Jenkins, these plays feature a talented cast, including Peter Jones, Donald Hewlett, and Bernard Bresslaw, bringing to life the witty and engaging narratives crafted by Daly.
