Episode 8

What happened at the Cheverell Stones in the 17th century holds a special significance for one resident of the Manor. And tonight is the night she intends to prove it.

PD James's latest Dalgliesh mystery, dramatised by Neville Teller.

What happened at the Cheverell Stones in the seventeenth century may not seem to be of importance today. But for one resident of the Manor - the exclusive Dorset clinic where Dalgliesh and his team are investigating two murders - it holds a special significance. And tonight is the night she intends to prove it.

The Private Patient is the latest in the long-running Dalgliesh series, and the first to be dramatised on radio before television. The entire serial will be released on CD by 大象传媒 Audiobooks in June, and repeated on Radio 7 in August as part of a PD James season.

The dramatiser is Neville Teller, who also dramatised the previous Dalgliesh serial featuring Richard Derrington and Deborah McAndrew, A Taste For Death.
