    To future listeners: there is a little gap in between the dialogue but it is only music that you are missing,not the actual script :)

    Quite the gripping production. Instantly recognized Katherine Parkinson's voice who played Layla. She played Jen in The IT Crowd.

    Eric Clapton's obsessive love song Layla is a fitting musical accompaniment.

    This was reasonably good. The one thing that let it down was the idea the perpetrator would be the one to tell Layla the conditions of his release. From there it became even more ridiculous when Layla herself started confiding stuff to Noah, even inviting him to call again. I thought this was totally implausible but the actress playing Layla was brilliant

      Hi Michael, apologies that music is missing in this play because of copyright. If the music is left in I can receive a copyright strike and potentially have this non profit making channel taken down as happened before. I hope you enjoyed the play despite the music having been removed by CZcams (6 mins) and will continue to listen to this channel. Regards, Arch

      I had a mini stalker once - I only had his number plate - VIN69 (his first name was Vincent - the 69 is obvious). I went to the police station - female desk person took down the details and she informed me that the car was registered to a company and told me the company name (I'm sure she shouldn't have but I was grateful she did). The next time he called I told him I'd be calling his boss at the xyz company and I would tell his boss what he'd been doing. I never heard from him again. I feel bad I did not go back and thank the police officer - I think she was very sympathetic. It does not take much for a stalker to start harassing - I was looking for a flat mate and I had decided, as a precaution, to take down number plates as they parked their car - all I did was show him the flat - he asked me out - I refused. That's it.

    I didn't really understand the ending ... it seemed to skip a big piece between when she was talking to Ben and when Noah called. I know someone says music was missing, but this seems like a big jump. She went from talking to Ben to all of a sudden talking to Noah who had stabbed her and been arrested ... I mean, when did all that happen?

    Okay, don't date married men then you have to lie and cheat. If you have to find a date on the internet, be careful. Don't get drunk, tell the other person your personal problems, give your telephone number, work information or where you live. You just might be asking for trouble. Use wisdom.
