Two short stories by Daphne du Maurier, adapted for radio by Anna Linstrum (The Blue Lenses) and Vivienne Allen (The Little Photographer).

The first, "The Blue Lenses" concerns a woman in hospital having an operation on her eyes. She is temporarily fitted with "blue lenses" for her vision, and discovers to her horror that everyone has turned into an animal. The nurses are sheep and cows, and the consultant surgeon a fox terrier. Her husband is most scaringly a vulture, and the nurse with whom she is to be discharged a snake. The twist is that each image represents their personalities - her husband is after her trust fund and is having an affair with the nurse. When the lenses are replaced with ordinary sight, they revert to people again, but she, in the mirror, is a timid deer.

The second, "The Little Photographer", is about the titled Madame la Marquise, on holiday in the South of France with her children whilst her husband is attending to business back at the chateau. Bored, she embarks on an affair with a local photographer, meeting daily on a cliff top where she goes for a walk whilst the family nanny attends to the children. The photographer, young and gauche, becomes very serious about the relationship. Madame, in a fit of annoyance pushes him off the cliff. He is found drowned a few days later, but she is not suspected. However his sister, who inherited his photography shop, discovers just what he had been photographing during those long hot afternoons, and the story ends with an implication that blackmail will ensue.

Both tales are very clever, and attest to the skill of Lady Browning's imagination and her command of the craft of storytelling. Cast included Bethany Muir, Oliver Chris, Rhiannon Neads, Michael Bertenshaw, Anna Spearpoint, Ian Dunnett Junior, Lucy Boynton, John Lightbody, Jessica Turner, Rosie Coleman and Maisie Avis. First broadcast 10 March 2024.
