Raffles - BBC Radio drama about a cricketing thief who has a tendency to whack to the ball into the pavilion. Episode 5: "A Trap to Catch a Cracksman".
My favourite episode...indubitably !
"A Trap to Catch a Cracksman" is a short story by E. W. Hornung, and features the gentleman thief A. J. Raffles, and his companion and biographer, Bunny Manders.
Very early morning, Bunny receives a vague and distressing telephone call from Raffles, telling Bunny that he has fallen into Maguire's trap. Barney Maguire, the heavyweight champion of the United States who is in England to fight a leading British contender, had met Raffles and Bunny at the Imperial Sporting Club a week ago and invited them to his home. Raffles had admired Maguire's many jewels and valuable trophies, and, being further encouraged by Maguire's boast that he had devised a perfect trap to catch any cracksman, had decided to steal Maguire's trophies on the night after Maguire was to fight the British champion, correctly assuming that Maguire would win and go out drinking to celebrate. However, Raffles faints before he can tell Bunny over the phone the nature of the trap was that has indeed caught him.....
