When put on the ultimate spot - when someone is forcing you to decide your own fate - the stress, I imagine, must be overwhelming. That's the whole basis of this bizarre little crime drama. While not a wholly "mysterious" show, it had enough twists and dilemma's to keep me happy. I really enjoyed the concept. A dermatologist being forced into performing surgery. I wonder if the writer toyed with making him a chiropractor or perhaps, a psychologist. Depsite the main tale being the impending surgery and fate of the doctor because of the procedure, the side story of a questionable relationship between the doctor and his nurse, sparked by a jealous wife, was interesting and a nice addition to the plot. For me this was a middle of the road tale, not a blow-away experience, yet not even close to a let down, either. It was a good, solid and enjoyable performance with good character development and a story that held together well. My only complaint was that the doctor was just too whiny, but that's what the role called for, so... I gave this one a 4.6... a great choice!

I have heard this one probably 200 times at least, and is one from my childhood collection. It is one of my faves. I like how in this RMT, as with others, they use the "non-speak". i.e. you know "Eddie" is there, but he doesn't say anything. Helps flesh out the number of characters without having extra actors and unnecessary dialog. I thought that the subplot was good, but I think the Private detectives were on scene pretty quick at the end though. Doc's wife must have had some $$$ tucked away to get them there like that! but, like I said, I've heard it a lot, so I have had time to think of these things. And as usual, I listen to it in November. Preferably when it is raining! Glad you guys liked it.

Was it just me or did "Pop" sound like Jackie Mason with a sore throat? OMG, the doctor's whining...I think I would have whacked him over the head with the butt of the gun just to shut him up. I was a little confused about EG Marshall's comment at the end that "Sue Ann found a new and more viable romance." I didn't see anything in the story to indicate she even considered the doc, romantically speaking. The whole thing seemed to be more a belief on the wife's part than based on any romantic feelings between the two. I must admit, I'm not really a Tony Roberts fan and, in this particular story, I felt like he was overacting just a tad, especially in the first act.
