4.50 From Paddington (BBC Full Cast Dramatisation)

For an instant the two trains ran together side by side. In that frozen moment Elspeth witnessed a murder. Helplessly she stared out of her carriage window as a man remorselessly tightened his grip around a woman’s throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. ; ; But who apart from Miss Marple would take her story seriously? After all there were no suspects no other witnesses… and no corpse. ; ; This version is a Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring June Whitfield as the deceptively mild Miss Marple.
