"GREEN FOR DANGER"
was wounded by a flying-bomb and admitted to hospital for an operation to a broken femur. Apart from this injury he was a perfectly fit man, so why did he die under the anaesthetic? That is something listeners to the four ZB stations and 2ZA won't ‘know till they come to the sixth and final episode of a new NZBS production Green for Danger, which has been adapted for radio by Lester Powell from the Frank under-Sydney Gilliat film of the same name. During the operation on the postal thighbone there were present Dr. Barnes (anaesthetist), Mr. Eden (the surgeon), Sister Bates and Nurses Sanson, Linley and Woods-each of we HIGGINS, a postman,
whom, it appeared later, would have had a motive for getting rid of the unfortunate Higgins. And __ before listeners are let into the well-kept Secret a further life is lost and another endangered. Meanwhile, Inspector Cockrill (of Scotland), an outwardly frivolous sort of policeman, has made his appearance, and thoroughly annoyed the whole hospital staff with his flippancy, especially the superintendent, Dr, White. The suspense, according to the Productions Department of the NZBS, is maintained right up till the last few miinutes of play. The principals are Selwyn Toogood ‘(Inspector Cockrill), Peggy Walker (Nurse Sanson), Sinclair Ronald (Nurse Woods), Brigid Lenihan (Nurse Linley), -E. G. Rowell’ (Dr. Barnes), Pauline ‘Heany (Sister Bates), Richard Harding (Dr. White) and William Austin (Mr. Eden, and also producer). Green for Danger will start at 1ZB at 7.30 p.m. and 3ZB. at 8.0 p.m. on Sunday, November 7; 2ZB at 8.0 p.m. and 4ZB at 7.30 p.m. on Sunday, November 14, and 2ZA at 7.30 p.m. on Sunday, November 21. It will be heard in six half-hour weekly episodes,
