Cleft Stick – A Gritty 1973 British Police Drama | R.D. Wingfield | Old Tube Radio

A dark road. A short cut through the woods. A story that doesn’t quite hold together. Late one evening in 1973 England, a woman claims she was attacked by a stranger and killed him in self-defence with her husband’s gun. Yet when questioned by the police, troubling contradictions begin to emerge. Did the attack really happen as she says — or is something being carefully hidden? Written by R.D. Wingfield, Cleft Stick is a quiet, unsettling British crime drama, steeped in the atmosphere of early-1970s policing — notebook interviews, muted authority, and the slow tightening of suspicion. No sirens. No chases. Just the steady pressure of doubt. A classic piece of psychological storytelling, presented in the true spirit of Old Tube Radio. Producer:……David H.
