Wet Saturday - Old Time Radio Crime/Comedy

This week on The Shiver Show, hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn invite you into a quiet English home where manners are impeccable, secrets are deadly… and the rain simply will not stop. Our featured episode is Wet Saturday, a deliciously twisted classic in which the sinister wit of John Collier meets the suspenseful genius of old-time radio at its finest.

Set in a rain-drenched English town, the story begins with a sudden, shocking murder. Charles Laughton stars as the calculating patriarch determined to protect his family at any cost.

Originally aired on December 16, 1943, on the legendary Suspense series, Wet Saturday is a dark comedy. Adapted from Collier’s 1938 short story, the episode crackles with dry British humour and moral ambiguity.

Mary and Greg talk about Laughton’s masterful performance, Collier's intriguing story, and whether croquet is a dangerous game. So settle in, listen closely, and remember—on a wet Saturday, even the most respectable household can become very dangerous indeed.
