Broken Promise is a programme structured as an episode, fitting squarely within the episode genre. The piece is billed simply as a programme, without further classification, and its title hints at themes of unkept assurances. Though no additional production details are supplied, the format suggests a self‑contained story that unfolds over the course of a single broadcast. It is presented without reference to a specific broadcast year or creative team. The central narrative follows a detective who is called in after a student mysteriously falls to his death. The circumstances surrounding the fatal plunge are unclear, prompting a formal inquiry. As the investigation proceeds, Vera—who appears closely linked to the case—begins to seek out anyone who knew the deceased. She talks to friends and family, hoping to piece together a clearer picture of who the young man was and what might have led to his demise. Vera's efforts to gather testimony from those close to the victim form a key strand of the episode. By interviewing acquaintances and relatives, she aims to uncover details that the official investigation may have missed. The focus remains on extracting personal recollections and background information, allowing the story to build a fuller understanding of the dead student's life and the events that preceded his fatal fall.
