The Landlady (audio drama)

The Laundry by Roald Dahl
Originally published in the New Yorker magazine and then reprinted in 'Kiss Kiss', Roald Dahl's third short story collection published in 1960.  Adapated both for 'Tales of the Unexpected' (Series 1, Episode 5) and in this instance for a BBC Radio 4 series of Dahl adaptations from the aforementioned collection.

Narrator Charles Dance introduces the tale of Billy Weaver (James Joyce) who after arriving in Bath to start a new job takes lodgings at a guest house where the two other names listed in the guest book seem oddly familiar but first it's time to take tea with the eccentric Landlady (Doreen Mantle - 'Dirk Gently').
