Step into the shadowy world of The Franchise Affair, a masterful BBC Saturday Night Theatre adaptation of Josephine Tey’s celebrated mystery novel. Set in the quiet English village of Milford, the drama unfolds when two reclusive women—the Sharpes of "The Franchise"—are accused by a teenage girl of a shocking crime. Local solicitor Robert Blair is reluctantly drawn into the maelstrom, uncovering a gripping web of lies, prejudice, and moral ambiguity.

Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2005, this faithful adaptation features powerhouse performances by Alison Skilbeck, Tessa Peake-Jones, Margaret Tyzack, and Ben Daniels, under the direction of Ellen Dryden.

Tune in for a chilling mystery that questions appearances, challenges justice, and captures the intrigue of classic British detective fiction.
