Father Brown: The Absence of Mr. Glass
by G.K. Chesterton; dramatised by John Scotney; (BBC Radio 4, 1987)
A single-episode addendum to Scotney’s two series of radio adaptations. Where Chesterton playfully mocked the Holmesian method, Scotney and Bernard Archard (portraying Holmes) go a little too far in demeaning the man himself. The concluding explanation of ‘Mr. Glass’ proves sadly facetious.
