  • Peril at End House (Dramatised)

    "Another fun Poirot mystery"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story

    The production was well done with a number of interesting characters. Poirot comes out of retirement once again to help a damsel in distress. Enjoyed the development of the storyline and the surprise ending.

  • Five Little Pigs (Dramatised)

    "Classic Poirot"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story

    This was a fun production. Agatha Christie rarely disappoints. Had to get used to the depiction of Hercule Poirot. Enjoyable, yet short.

  • The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding (Dramatised)

    "Well done production"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story

    Agatha Christie very rarely disappoints me. Enjoyed this very much. Poriot has the enviable grey cells which get a work out again in this plot of intrigue.

Love having someone read me a story. Fires in the hearth, rain on the roof, sunny days and surf. Good friends, good food and J S Bach.

  • "For the Voices alone."

    1 of 1 helpful votes

    Stories adapted for radio and performed by great actors. As such, I find them a good introduction to the stories as written by the authors.

    The remastering comes over well on my pc speakers.

    A joy to hear Orson Wells and Sir Michael Redgraves..
