Crime Classics presents dramatized accounts of notorious crimes and the people involved in them. Hosted by Thomas Hyland, the series draws on historical cases, using narration and acted scenes to trace how crimes unfolded and how investigators and courts responded.

Each program is shaped as a true-crime radio drama, combining Hyland’s measured commentary with performances that bring the case’s characters and circumstances to life. The stories range across different periods and places, with attention to motive, evidence, and the consequences of criminal acts.

The result is a sober, atmospheric blend of documentary-style storytelling and suspenseful drama. This episode’s title points to the case of John and Judith, presented as a crime story with an ironic turn in its aftermath.
