4. Hot Hand Fallacy

Disco by Nick Walker

Available for over a year

DISCO by Nick Walker People don’t always notice Marnie Crawford, but they underestimate her at their peril. She is a huge fan of Sister Sledge; she knows about cognitive bias theory, she uses voice notes to help her think, and in the police she has an 85% crime solve rate. Seeking to improve their declining arrest record, the Ministry of Defence has set up a new unit of the Military Police and have asked Marnie, a civilian, to head it up. The new unit is D:SCO (Defence: Serious Case Opera-tions). And, of course, everyone calls it DISCO … Episode 4: Hot Hand Fallacy Marnie flies to Jordan to meet Adam McTavish’s former Commanding Officer and makes an alarming discovery. Nick Walker is the author of two novels and any number of plays and short stories for radio including ‘The First King of Mars’, ‘Life Coach’ and ‘Stormchasers’. He is also the writer of ‘Annika Stranded’, which ran for six seasons on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 between 2013 and 2020, and has since translated to TV as ‘Annika’, both starring his near name-sake, Nicola Walker. Writer: Nick Walker Reader: Bryony Hannah Producer: Jeremy Osborne A Sweet Talk Production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4
