characters arrive on audio for four stories packed with the show's

the murderous plot - before they succumb to it themselves. 2. THE
MISER by Simon Barnard and Paul Morris. Steed has a nasty scare,
Emma has a pressing engagement. When the phrase 'sleeper train'

deceptive. 3. THE GOLDEN DRESSES by Paul Magrs. Emma hits the
heights of fashion, Steed plumbs the very depths. The ladies of

her moment.An agent has gone missing whilst holidaying in the
