Classic Old Time Radio, Vintage radio shows, the Golden Age of radio, murder, mystery, drama, comedy, sci-fi, westerns. "Mr. Pottermack's Oversight" is a BBC Radio drama that was part of the "Saturday Night Theatre" series, adapted from the novel by R. Austin Freeman. The play is a classic "inverted mystery," a subgenre of detective fiction that Freeman is credited with inventing. The story begins with the crime itself. The protagonist, Mr. Pottermack, a seemingly respectable man with a dark secret from his past, is being blackmailed by a man named James Lewson. In a moment of desperation, Pottermack kills Lewson and meticulously disposes of the body, even creating a false trail to lead any investigators astray. He believes he has committed the perfect crime. However, his efforts to cover his tracks and fabricate evidence attract the attention of the brilliant and methodical forensic investigator, Dr. John Thorndyke. The drama then becomes a tense cat-and-mouse game between the clever criminal and the astute detective. The title, "Mr. Pottermack's Oversight," refers to the one small, seemingly insignificant detail that Pottermack missed in his elaborate plan, which allows Dr. Thorndyke to eventually piece together the entire sequence of events. The play explores themes of justice, morality, and the challenge of concealing the truth from a truly discerning mind.
