Appointment
With Fear
Valentine
Dyall presented this classic BBC radio horror series between 1943
and 1948, narrating as The Man in Black.
Perhaps
the episode that scared Ted Bage was The Bodysnatchers, or Will
You Make a Bet With Death?
We've
hunted down a copy of Appointment With Fear from the BBC library.

The Pit and the Pendulum, originally broadcast on 18th September
