Proof




A BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Dick Francis' pacey thriller, starring Nigel Havers as Tony Beach.

At the annual party celebrating the success of the racing season, everything is running well to form until a runaway horsebox ploughs into the marquee, causing terrible death and destruction. A witness to the tragedy, wine merchant Tony Beach presumes it is just one of those awful accidents. But as he gets involved in the investigation and begins to make connections, events take a more sinister turn.
