Foul Play is a BBC radio game show that ran for 4 seasons. Mystery writers are challenged to solve a murder using the old time radio techniques of different voices and sound effects. Two actors act out various characters, who are then questioned about the murder by the writers. One episode is about horse racing. The champion horse racer takes a dive and winds up murdered. I really liked one of the actor's Irish accents. I think he did a really good job. It's always fun when one of the characters breaks under the pressure of the questioning. The show's record holder for "fastest deduction" is held by a writer who used to be a police constable. After a second listen, I would give this program 5 out of 5 scribbles. There were some details I missed the first time around!
