I thoroughly recommend John Finnemore's "Red-Handed", a 30-minute play on Radio 4 today. It's a kind of comic version of Sleuth, and like Sleuth it's really all about class.

The only unconvincing thing is that Bird uses "criteria" rather than "criterion" for the singular. (Twice.)

I thoroughly enjoyed it. The poor young man never had a chance.

Yes, I was listening too. Didn't pick up on the criterion/criteria mistake, though.

I think I've probably become oversensitive to it through years of marking student papers.
