This Sunday evening on "Sunday Night Playhouse", Vintage Classic Radio brings you a rare sci-fi double bill from the archives of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Our first feature is a haunting adaptation from CBC Sunday Theatre in Calgary, H.G. Wells' story, "The Crystal Egg", originally aired on March 26. 1972. Long before he unleashed the Martian apocalypse in "The War of the Worlds", Wells hinted at interplanetary observation with his eerie tale of a London curiosity shop owner who stumbles upon a mysterious crystal orb -- one that reveals visions of life on Mars. As the elderly shopkeeper becomes obsessed with the glimpses he sees, the story draws us into questions of surveillance, alien life, and the limitations of human understanding. This compelling dramatization stars Henry Comer, was adapted by Leslie McFarlane, and brought to life under the direction of Fred Diehl.Next, we journey deeper into the cosmos with an atmospheric production from "The Mystery Theatre", one of CBC's most ambitious dramatic efforts, featuring weekly thrillers from across Canada. In this 1968 adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's gripping short story "Breaking Strain", two astronauts aboard a space freighter bound for Venus face the ultimate moral dilemma when a catastrophic systems failure reveals there's only enough oxygen for one man to survive. What begins as a cool-headed conversation between professionals devolves into a chilling study of human instinct, fear and the ethical boundaries of survival. Crafted with the CBC's signature dramatic flair, the production underscores Clarke's mastery of psychological tension and philosophical depth in the face of technological isolation. Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of early science fiction storytelling from two literary giants, tonight on Vintage Classic Radio.

This week, we've twice the storytelling fun for you: two Cautionary Tales shorts, previously only available to Pushkin+ subscribers. A Monkey for Mayor: It was supposed to be a publicity stunt, but when the man who dressed as Hartlepool United's monkey mascot stood in a mayoral election... he won. Actual politicians predicted disaster - since thousands of workers and millions of dollars were now in the hands of a complete novice. But H'Angus the Monkey proved to be a more effective leader than anyone had predicted, raising interesting questions about how we select the best people to be our managers and our mayors. And A Screw Loose At 17,000 Feet: Can you tell the difference between an A211-7D bolt and an A211-8C? Well, nor could the tired and stressed engineer fitting a cockpit windshield to Flight 5390. The difference is tiny, but the consequences of muddling them up - which played out at 17,000 ft - were dramatic. Such design flaws are common - and result in far more loose aircraft windows than you would imagine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
