Bob Peck starred in the Wingfield BBC radio drama Deadfall, about a demolition man whose past catches up with him. The 'winkle' postcard (sent by Inspector Frost) is most probably based on a Donald McGill seaside postcard. After a dispute with the BBC in 1984 he submitted a number of radio plays under the pseudonym "Arthur Jefferson", (the real name of Stan Laurel) one such play being The Killing Season broadcast in six-parts that same year and starring Sean Barrett, Michael Jenner, John Hollis, and Allan Cuthbertson; the serial was essentially a palimpsest of his earlier serial Outbreak of Fear. The final of his non-Inspector Frost radio plays was Hate Mail broadcast in 1988. Later years In 2002, R. D. Wingfield was diagnosed with prostate cancer. At about the same time he started writing the sixth, and final, Frost book, A Killing Frost. His wife, Phyllis Patten, whom he married in 1952, died in 2004. They had a son, Phillip. Wingfield died from cancer in 2007, and A Killing Frost was published on 7 April 2008. In 2011, the first of four new Frost books was published with the approval of the Wingfield family. The books — First Frost, Fatal Frost, Morning Frost, and Frost at Midnight — are published under the name James Henry. In the case of First Frost, this pseudonym refers to James Gurbutt and Henry Sutton, but for the others it refers to Gurbutt only. All the books are now available in E-book format.
