Produced for British radio in 2002. The British still make radio shows, dramas, comedies, mysteries and so forth. Maybe it's because you have to pay a tax to watch TV there.
Based on Patricia Highsmith's 1962 novel. A divorcee with a history of psychiatric problems becomes obsessed with a local woman who lives outside town. He prowls outside her house at night spying on her. She spots him. This doesn't seem wise but she invites him in. Over time, he becomes less and less obsessed with her while she's increasingly obsessed with him. Her now-ex-fiance is stalking both of them and his imbittered ex-wife is out to get him. The peeping tom is the most normal one in the story.
Adapted by Shaun McKenna, starring John Sharian, Joanne McQuinn and Adrian Lester.
Four half-hour episodes. Free on Internet Archive and on YouTube.
You can compare and contrast it with the 2009 movie with the same name. I haven't seen it, but it's apparently available on Prime if nowhere else. There was also Claude Chabrol's 1987 Le Cri du hibou if you can find it.
